Of course they oversampled Democrats. It was the only way they could get the result they wanted.

'45 percent Democratic and 18 percent Republican'... in sample. CNN poll here

WAAAAAYYYY oversampling Republicans! They should make the balance 10,293,182% Democrats and negative eleventy-skadillion percent Republican and Other.

Then they will finally show 51% support for Obummer.

The comments on that article are so rehearsed it’s not even funny. I would be willing to bet, half of those were pre-written and ready for posting with the article. Every one of them covering a talking point. And Obama’s Plan? They throw that out there time and again. He has NO PLAN? He didn’t submit anything to Congress - not even a bullet list. Obama voted present with platitudes and is letting everyone else do the work, so he can claim victory on anything - and that’s fine. But when your minions start spouting time and again that your plan is great, your plan is exactly what we need - who are these morons? You need ot get your lies together Team O.

Why would you lump Chippies in with O’bama? I’ve known some(not in the Biblical sense) that were quit intelligent and had a heart. Unlike O’bama who could care less for any person, because, “I am the President”.

I’m actually disappointed Drudge has it down below in smaller font as opposed to top left with the headlining, post-speech articles.

Glenn Beck had mentioned this on the radio when I was driving to work today. I really appreciate Drudge getting the word out.

Meh, I think it’s just the demographic that watched it.

I could sit there and get lied to for half an hour or I could blow up terrorists in Cal of Duty. Not really a tough decision.

Who was it that a few years ago leaked voting results prior to an election? AP? CNN?

I believe that for the past 3 ++ years, such polling imbalances have been the norm for the companies who do such polling.

And Congress wonders why the public doesn’t follow like they wish us to.

even gergen said zero failed last night....

The only reason Obama went before Congress to give this nothing speech was because the networks were tired of giving him expensive airtime. He just went around them and got his time anyway.

“53 percent — favored his proposals. Immediately after the speech, that figure rose to 67 percent,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “But the real question is whether those conversions will last. Bill Clinton got similar numbers after his 1993 address to Congress, but five months later a majority of the country no longer supported his plan.”

This is the same pollster who did this:

The Hosing Of America: How The Media Manipulates Us

An Investigative Report
By: Jack Koenig, Executive Director
Expert Source Bureau

And repeat it they did! At least two, and possibly three serious breaches of polling integrity have come to light so far in the Zippergate fiasco.

In the first situation, a leading pollster has admitted to manufacturing poll results to achieve a desired result. On the August 19, 1998, CNN Moneyline show with Lou Dobbs, CNN Polling Director Keating Holland discussed how he manipulated Clinton’s numbers upward to meet their expectations after plummeting from the Lewinsky affair. Holland’s justification for this breach of polling integrity was that the question had been worded wrong and if different wording had been used, Clinton’s numbers would have been higher!

Tsk, tsk, silly CNN, always jumping ahead of themselves.

Somebody needs to remind them that Obama & the Congressional Dems haven't yet gotten around to reviving and amending the Three-fifths Compromise of 1787 which would legally establish Republican citizens as counting only for a fraction of their Dem Supremacist brethren's personhood yet. I heard Pelosi scheduled the vote for that next January.
