Survey Methods

These results are based on telephone interviews with a randomly selected national sample of 398 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, aged 18 and older, conducted Nov. 11-14, 2007. For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum error attributable to sampling and other random effects is ±5 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

Which is exactly why I give all these polls ZERO consideration.

Exactly.

.....and the only ones that care about these national polls of “Republicans and Republican-leaning independents” are those that support candidates that aren’t exactly doing well in state to state polls of well-vetted likely primary voters.
