Seems to me the two polls, providing they are legit, indicate that Independents think less of Sarah than Obama, at least at this point in the game. That can certainly change.
The first two polls confirm each other.
There is no way that Obama could jump to 60% support among INDEPENDENTS.
Remember Gallup now shows him at 35% approval with indies.
Let’s not miss the obvious—the polls just don’t square with each other. They can’t all be legit.
The polls don’t tell us anything about what independents think, because the numbers show us they can’t all be accurate and we can’t know which if any are accurate.
Either the first two are accurate and the third is way off, or vice versa, or they’re all inaccurate.
But polling standards should not vary significantly among major polling firms. If they do, it calls into question the validity of the entire polling industry.
