Shit, I barely remember what I was doing in 1979. I think weed was involved, like, lots of weed. And a shroom here and there.. and maybe a Quaalude or two...
Rorer 714....never leave home without one..
We used to buy them like rolls of Certs.
Oh my............

Apparently they handicapped your ability to write a topical post.
Because polling is a reflection of the political climate at the time it was taken, nothing more. There are too many variables. The stock market, the weather, whatever - everything has an impact on polling. It's a moment in time, a singular snapshot.
There could be an event tomorrow that sends Obama's rating into the 90s - or something could happen that could send his approval ratings into the teens.
So you're saying a trend is a "singular snapshot?"
Is English your primary language?
Seriously.
I said that "trends" in polling don't actually exist, because polling is a snapshot.
Is English your primary language? Because I certainly didn't say anything like what you claimed.

Um...you realise that all trends are a collection of single data points, right?

Not really... just a snarky comment on what was going on on 1979.... c'mon man!

Perhaps he needs some graph paper to illustrate.
Why not?

You should probably mark x & y for him too.
X= number of posts from the Doctorisin
Y= Fail Index

Well, its a little difficult to seriously take anyone who doesn't know that a trend is a collection of individual data points.
And the point that you cannot compare trends from 30 years ago with current trends means that you are a minority subscriber to the "History Does NOT Repeat Itself Club."
I'll attempt to educate you regarding Math, and why those of us that understand bother to take "snap-shots," find trends, and compare them with historical data. Perhaps an analogy will be helpful?
You might have seen Hurricane's being charted on a map?
Every day, the location of the eye of the storm is charted.
This data is used to compare the possible FUTURE PATH of the hurricane, with PREVIOUS KNOWN Paths of Hurricanes
Still with me? Wake the fuck up!
Then several MODELS predicting the landfall of the hurricane can be made.
For the past two months, Hurricane Barak is more closely following the same path as Hurricane Carter than any other hurricane since 1945: More importantly, it will hit land in only 12 months, a short period of time to change direction for presidential disasters.
I really hope you get it, because I don't have more time to review 8th grade math concepts.
I was having a much better time in 1979 than 2011
Not having a job in '79 was cool.

Along with 95% of USMB members.
Most don't understand that math is the study of the future.

so u had no job, what a shame, I had two jobs and was going to college, u should have applied yourself better
E-Bay Shit! Sotheby'sShit, I barely remember what I was doing in 1979. I think weed was involved, like, lots of weed. And a shroom here and there.. and maybe a Quaalude or two...
A friend of mine was recently cleaning out an old backpack from when he was in college, and he found what is probably the last remaining quaalude on the face of the Earth.
e-Bay baby...
At this time in his first term, Reagan's approval rating was 45. Obama is at 43.
With a margin of error +/-3, that's a statistical dead heat.
uhm at this date and time in equivalent time space continuum, ala their 3rd sept. in Office, in Sept. `1983, 1.1 million jobs....thats ONE million ONE hundred thousand, in a smaller pop. too, by about 70 million...morning in America.....
in 1997 sept.Clinton created 500k. jobs , in a good economy......
First of all, the President doesn't "create" any jobs. Second, it's not the point that the OP was making, nor the point that I was referring to. Misreading and fabricating polling data is a big pet peeve of mine, and the only reason I posted in this thread.
I have no intention of, nor desire to, defend Obama.
BUT he and his future is tied to it, inextricably......
