Polls are like statistics. You can make them come out any way you want!


Isn’t the numbers you posted about what you’d expect? Perry running hard to the right and Hutchison in the middle/left.

You would kind of expect a breakdown like that. But without a further breakdown of those surveyed it is hard to say if is an accurate reflection of how likely Republican primary voters feel. It is also a fairly small survey size and 19 percent of those surveyed were not sure. CNN's recent survey after Obama's speech which way over sampled Democrats should make us all look closely at the actual breakdown of those surveyed.

A much more interesting survey would be one that samples just registered Republicans. That might give us a better picture.
