Now that we know who will be in on both debates, let's keep an eye out and discuss the various possibilities and then watch the debates. Feel free to talk about anything debate-related and please consider donating to the FReepathon as generously as you can.
Anyone who comes up with debate information, please keep us updated.
Chart 1 is the 10 most recent polls and lists the Cruz, Carson and Huckabee polling results for each of these polls.
Chart 2 is my calculation of the averages from the polls that Fox News selected. Note that Quinnipiac is not one of the 5 most recent polls. It is 6th. Note also that my calculation shows Carson and Cruz tied at 5.8. Fox announced a average of 5.4 for Cruz. Maybe they have non-rounded off figures from the 5 pollsters. I don't know.
Chart 3 shows the result if they really did what they promised and used the 5 most recent polls. A three way tie between Cruz, Carson and Huckabee at 6.6.
Question for Fox News or any Freeper: Why did Fox News substitute Quinnipiac for the NBC-WSJ poll. Could it be that NBC-WSJ is not a reputable polling organization? Really?
Fox News cheated to give the Huskster and Carson a leg up and push Cruz down. IMHO
Hoping I have all the numbers correct. Anyone that sees an error - don't hesitate.
I didn’t take it as being rude.
I’ve seen threads like this serve their purpose
and on debate day someone will post a live thread.
ADMIN: CAN YOU PLEASE DELETE MY POST #21.
Sorry about that.
