FYI.
The Fool's Gold of FAKE POLLS.
Clearly this poll is statistically flawed, designed for publicity rather than information.
Generate a slanted poll, so the handmaidens of the left can grow and editorialize on it until the next pollitorial comes out..
Here's how it works with AP polls:
First, questions for the poll are obtained from the office of Howard (the duck) Dean.
Next, these questions are submitted (read to) the entire staff of the DNC, by a Republican consultant hired solely on their ability to read.
After the DNC pollees have the questions explained to them (this process takes several hours), their reactions are recorded and tallied.
At this point in the process, the Republican consultant, is then asked to respond to the questions, and gladly complies. His (or her) responses are then tallied and included with the final results that are now ready to be released to the AP (whose office is the next floor down from Howard (the duck) Dean's office.
I hope that this clears up any questions on how AP polls come into existence.
IT'S THE SAMPLE STUPID!
As you've noted, polling results are only as valid as the samples used to generate them!
[BTW: The AP (and its French polling company,IPSOS REID) joins Zogby as the most BOGUS/BIASED pollsters currently polling -- the rest of the MSM pollsters aren't far behind!]
