[Thanatos]

even after "Weighting" the respondants, there is still a 2 to 1 built-in bias in this "Poll"..

If you only ask the opinion of the enemy, you will only get the enemies point of view.

I'M SHOCKED!
SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!

Thanks for posting.

Disgusting, but not surprising.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Yeah, but the two to one bias is not reported in MSM. What these polls need to do is use the same sampling as percentages in last Presidential election. And then only with "likely" voters. Cause they are the ones who vote not just tell you how they feel.

[Bob Buchholz]

Rush is right!

These fools will run around quoting their own BS polls, celebrating the numbers then claim foul when the actual election results don't reflect their expectations. Let them continue being deluded.

BUSH CHEERS DECLINE OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA, RISE OF ALTERNATIVE PRESS (Drudge Headline)

[Wasanother]

CBS is even 10% lower than most other MSM skewed polls. I think this has to do with Bush basically referring to the MSM as irrelevant.

[in hoc signo vinces]

I think it's pretty understood that CBS stands for a great many things, none of them good, but especially C'ertainly B'iased S'ources.

"CBS" The name no one trusts.

[1rudeboy]

Can someone explain the purpose of "weighting" in the first place? Can't one simply take a poll and give the actual results with the sample characteristics in some sort of fine print at the bottom? Why the extra step?

[ohioWfan]

Gee..............what a surprise.

But I'll tell you what bugs me. Carl Cameron and the Fox guys will talk about the 'polls' without the caveat that they were weighted.

All it takes for the media to use a poll in a report is to take the poll. It's accuracy is irrelevant.

[Always Right]

Even if they weighted it better, Bush would still be under 40%.

[PaulJ]

What is "Weighting"?

[Names Ash Housewares]

Polls are custom manufactured news. CBS is expert on making up news as we all know.

[cubreporter]

CBS...

Yada, yada, yada...Zzzzzzzzzzzz

[Doc Savage]

What's the frequency Kenneth???

[conservative physics]

shocking !


LOL


Any poll that isn't 55% republican is worthless.

[conservative physics]

In other news...

A poll taken of delegates to the democratic convention shows Bush's approval numbers at 0% !

*rolls eyes*

[longtermmemmory]

but nobody reveals this.

Why is this data not front and center on FNC?

CBS must be using census data from 100 years ago. Are there not more registered republicans than demcorats?

I wonder what the same poll would reveal if you did a conservative/liberal/neuter breakdown. (moderate means nothing)

[Dilbert56]

This could really hurt President Bush's reelection chances.

[Graymatter]

CBS, FBA.

(fake but accurate)

[Mr. Brightside]

Were the first results of the poll faxed to CBS from a Kinko's in Texas?
