i just checked that web site and i can't believe the poll was 1205 ADULTS not even registered nor likely voters
quote:
This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone November 1-4, 2006, among a random national sample of 1,205 adults. The results have a three-point error margin. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by TNS of Horsham, Pa.
that is correct but then they factored later for LV + RV (likely voter, registered voter) - but they cherry picked the data! it's mostly registered voters below - there's no explanation for why they'd do that ... except they didn't like the numbers and didn't want to print them.
It's a lot easier to answer a phone poll than it is to actually get off your butt and stand in line at the voting booth. Democrats aren't known for being highly motivated people, either.
Check again- RV=registered voter, LV-likely voter.
