I believe LAT national presidential polling are always inaccurate because they do not weigh their polls properly.

Alas, I am beginning to think Obama would beat McCain in a poll sponsored by FR.

What is the “Los Angeles Times”? Is it a “newspaper” or something?

2,208 adults nationwide -- 1,986 of them registered voters

Leaving 222 folks who don't care enough to register to vote.

Jeez.

10% of the people polled in this dog aren't even voters.

This is a poll of adults. Polls of adults always favor the 'Rats. They didn't even need to take this poll to get this result.

C'mon.

National adults? Not even like voters or even registered voters.

They could not have chosen a worse demographic within which to poll. They did it because it is the cheapest way to poll. No worries about are respondents registered and if they are have they voted in past elections and are they planning to vote this time. Nope, all they need to ask is “are you over 18 years of age”.

Worthless poll from an organization that is known for worthless polls. It was this rag that had Busemonte (sp) beating Schwarzenegger by 10 points the day before the election.

Oops, didn’t see the demographic breakdown that said 1900 or so were registered voters. Sorry, my bad.

It’s a poll of adults and registered voters. Add a few points to McCain. But he’s still not winning. Rasmussen, the best pollster out there, has both Obama (up by 3) and Hillary (up by 5) beating McCain. Since we’re still deep in the throes of Operation Chaos, that doesn’t bode well for McCain.

The headline should have read, "The Witch and the Devil beat John McCain in Los Angeles Times poll."

In these demonic times, this is the Season of the Witch.

Be the same as playboy having a poll,”do you find naked ladies breasts a good thing”?
The pool seems slanted to begin with.

The LA Times is still in business? And all this time I thought Variety was the paper of record for Los Angeles.

If I had a dime for every poll that’s been used to create news, I’d be . . . a rich white woman. An older rich white woman.

Barack don’t say “White Woman,” he say “White Folk.” I am not a Folk. I’m not all ‘white’ either. Lots of tan, some red. Never saw a white person unless he was wearing a robe with a pointy hat. Is that what ol’ Barack is referrin’ to when he says “White Folk?”

You think? I think! (Therefore I am a Conservative.)

I haven’t trusted a thing Pravda on the Pacific has stated in the last thirty years.

The LAT is also just as strong an arm of the Democrat party as the NYT.

What other story can you expect from this liberal paper with a circulation of 99 thousand.
