Did you read the internals on this to see CBS polled 57% Democrats and 43% Republicans?

As I predicted. Thank you. The actual voting population in Nov. 2004 was 37% Dem, 37% Republican. I predicted this was another outrageously skewed poll with slovenly demographics and I was right. Thanks for doing the leg-work there.

Rasmussen has Bush at 50% with likely voters and the Corrupt Broadcasting System has him at 37%! Who do you believe?

These polls imply that the desire for a "different direction" for the country means a more liberal one. i wonder how many people on Free Republic would agree with the direction Bush is taking us on any given day. That doesn't mean anything without knowing what alternative direction might be taken instead.

Other than that, I think that these poll more accurately reflect the effectiveness of the major propaganda machines (i.e, the MSM among others). Clearly it is more successful at talking down Bush's numbers now than it was a few years ago.

At the end of PAGE 9, THE LAST PAGE of polling data: http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/CBSNews_polls/gwb.pdf

Weighted Sample:

25.6% -- Republicans: 207

33.8% -- Democrats: 273

40.6% -- Independents: 328

NICE TRY, liars.

Election Day 2004: 37 R - 37 D - 26 I

Gallup had his numbers going up 5% to 45% (which is still low). Which one is right?

Never assume any one poll is accurate. Wait for about 3, and throw out the high and the low one.

Next time post your barf alerts at the beginning of your posts.
Obviously someone was a little quick with the abuse button.

Well if Rass is saying 50 and CBS is saying 37, it's probably half way in between. Or more likely I'll wait for a third to try to confirm either.

Which one is right?

The real answer is neither! - As both are junk polls at this time of the year (during an non-election year). Leadership is what matters in the long run ...not those who are governed by foolish/useless polls -

Furthermore of the two Gallup would be considered much closer to reality - CBS polls are complete junk, often having weighted models with DEM's at + 8 to +15 levels (ridiculous levels).

We had one REAL poll last Nov! - GWB won clearly and was elected with more votes then any President in History...in one of the highest turnout elections in modern day history!

Smoke that MSM -
