[Political Junkie Too]

Do a FreeRepublic title search on "poll" and see all the postings on the CNN poll of "Americans" (not "Likely Voters," "Registered Voters," or "Adults"), that over-sampled Democrats 2.5:1.

Tinfoil hat firmly in place...

1. Give the same speech given many times before
2. Conspire with a friendly polling/network to construct a fraudulent poll to return the desired results
3. Claim victory

Tinfoil hat off.

A CNN poll taken immediately after the speech showed a 14 per cent bounce in support for Mr Obama’s proposals, which would make it illegal for insurance companies to drop health coverage because of pre-existing medical conditions and to impose arbitrary limits on what a patient can claim.

Yup, CNN sampled 2.5 to 1 without initially mentioning it. No surprise that they later added a paragraph explaining the fact that the poll was lopsided after the criticism but they got what they wanted - a false narrative that would be picked up by fellow leftist bloggers and news sites. Also the poll was 467 voters with a -5/+5 MOE so as to be useless. And even if CNN claims that their poll was lopsided because more Dems watched a Dem President than Pubbies, it was incumbent upon them to interview enough Pubbies so as to get a true reflection of who was swayed in all three camps.

BTW: I have no idea what this writer is talking about when he wrote, "...and to impose arbitrary limits on what a patient can claim." Can anybody explain that?
