New RCP Average is McCain up 3.2%
CNN doing their part to artificially prop up Obama.
CNN doing their best to keep this race close.
Include about 5 pts for manifest CNN bias in the structure of the poll, and 8-9 pts for the Bradley effect, and I’d say that Osamabama and Bidet are burnt toast.
So, its a poll of “adults” rather than registered voters, or likely voters, is that right? (i’m too lazy to click on the link)
just “adults”?
Not “registered” or “likely”?
hmmmmm.
You know it’s bad for the left when their Messiah can only pull even on the news channels they control...
Registered voters - add another 3-5 points to McCain for Likely Voters...
“adult Americans”?! What happened to at least registered or likely voters?
I see this as verification for the McCain lead in every other poll.
Full text of CNN’s poll question:
In a fictitious election, who would you rather vote for:
1). Obama/Jesus
2). Hitler/McCain
The poll is of "adults" and was conducted over the weekend. Two things that always skew heavily in favor of the dem candidate.
Polls are most often done using adults, registered voters, and likely voters. The most accurate historically have been likely voters; voters that are registered and say that they will vote (that is why the Gallop numbers of +10 are hugh). A poll of "adults" does not even know if these are registered voters. Not surprisingly, this sampling method produces the least accurate results.
Remember: adults < registered voters < likely voters.
This is ADULTS only, not registered or even likely voters, so definitely good news to have a tie.
Works real well in the Electoral College.
By now, CNN polsters are on a first name basis with the people they poll.
Now that every poll is out showing McCain in the lead they switch to their own ""in house poll" showing its tied.
The timing? Nothing to see here....
to UNLEASH Bill and Hillary!!!
based on the 1 sentence here, they asked 1022 random people... no mention of registered or even likely voters... weird poll if you asked me.
