A recent story from another thread:

As CrushKerry observed, GOP respondents outweighed Democratic respondents in the poll, 374 to 303. With 300 Independents noted,that works out to 38.3% Republicans, 31.0% Democrats, and 30.7% Independents of the 977 total from the three. But the Newsweek poll states that 1,188 respondents were polled, with 1,088 Registered voters. And while the press release takes 20 pages to print and read, Newsweek doesn’t say, exactly, how those remaining 111 to 211 respondents breakdown. Also, I took the time to break down the respondents’ percentages: If the Rep/Dem/Ind response was unweighted, Bush would have led Kerry in the poll 58.0% to 42.0%, a sixteen-point lead, not eleven. So, while they don’t say exactly how they weighted their poll, Newsweek did weight the poll to balance things more towards the Democrats. In other words, you should consider deeper issues before accepting or rejecting a statement, whether it’s news you dislike, or news you do like.

Note the reference to "we don't know how Newsweek weighted their poll". Exactly what I've been pointing out. You don't know all the details of the weighting so guesses about what their poll really should be is pointless.

If you would simply go to the link I gave you - They have broke down the internals of the NewsWeek poll...and they do have the weighted MODEL Newsweek used - But you simply hate facts so you choose to ignore them - Which is too funny while at the same time sad -

The CrushKerry link is so stale - They did an elementary breakdown - A complete breakdown of the Newsweek poll has now been done by several sources -

And just for the record - my 5pt to 7pt Gallup findings....Shows I was Right...and you were of course Wrong.
