How ABC and WaPo rigged a poll to make it look like Americans now love ObamaCare

Trickery

On first glance, this looks bad: According to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, only 37 percent of Americans want ObamaCare repealed and replaced, as opposed to 61 percent who prefer that we “keep and improve” it. How could this happen? How could a law that has never been popular, has never worked well and has resulted in soaring premiums and collapsing insurance markets suddenly be popular?

Like I said, it appears that way on first glance, but if you think about the choices offered in the poll, you’ll notice something:


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Government; Health/Medicine; Society
KEYWORDS: abc; obamacare; riggedpoll; riggedpost; seananthony; wapo

Krauthammer was flapping his lips on Special Report last night about Obamacare’s popularity now.

He’s been disappointing since before the election.

Of course they will rig a poll or two to save their beloved Obama’s only accomplishment.

In real survey research a question asked is supposed to be a list of balanced options.

So, If you ask “do you want to keep ObamaCare?”, then you should also ask “do you want to end ObamaCare?”

If you ask, do you want to “repair” ObamaCare, then a similar opposite choice must also be offered.

1. Do you want to:

a. keep obamacare
b. repair obamacare while keeping it
c. retain the best features of obamacare while ending it.
d. end obamacare

2. Which is most important to you?
a. keep obamacare
b. replace obamacare with something different
c. end obamacare

3. Would you rather
a. keep what we have
b. replace what we have with something different
c. get rid of what we have and replace it with nothing

Did you think the questions gave a balanced range of options?
