I am not saying that all polling is bogus... but media polls certainly ALL are. There is an agenda behind each and every one of them. This pos propaganda piece brought to you by the same newsweak that proclaimed a koran had been flushed down a toilet causing thousands to die... including some of our own Military. That was an outright lie... but still people read and believe their tripe.

Anyone believing any of these presstitutes is crazy. They lie to us in every news article and report... you know this... you all do... and yet so many get concerned by their propaganda tools. They lie... it is all that they do... they have to... they are the left and they cannot be honest about who and what they are. Remember.

Right, so this is a Newsweek “feelgood” liberal poll.
It’s not meant to model the election outcome on November 2nd, it’s just meant to make liberals feel good.

Of course, it’s a bit more than that: it’s meant to positively influence the election for the liberal side as well.

The Harman Group doesn’t make just stereos.
It owns many of the top proaudio brands found in recording studios, such as Lexicon, AKG, Soundcraft, Studer, dbx, DigiTech, JBL, and others.

And Dr. Sidney Harman is also of course married to Democrat congresswoman Jane Harman.

If Newsweek concocts a poll to influence an election, but no one reads it, can they really have an influence?

I just finished a column by some lib this AM, some gun named Sarotta. His perception based on polling by the Washington Post and some supposed unbiased group, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, was the Bush years were statistically the worst economically in the US than the prior few decades AND (o)bama and the dems were elected because people were upset with the unfairness and ineffectiveness of the Bush Tax cuts!

Where does one get the gonads to write such crap? These guys have gone past dilusional to totally insane, I guess that is the extreme of Bush Derrangement Syndrome on steroids.

Of course, the MSM just has to report it widely. This year, I think it’ll have the effectiveness of a single sand bag against a tidal wave, however.

I simply can’t imagine that there’s anyone remaining who would give credibility to a commie rag that was sold lock, stock and barrel for less than the cost of a single news stand magazine.

Can’t wait to see the new circulation numbers. Probably equals the number of dentists’ and doctors’ waiting rooms.

BTW, lots (maybe most, maybe all) of those you see in waiting rooms are free subscriptions. A dentist friend of mine said they sent him a free teaser subscription and when he failed to respond for requests to pay at the end of the teaser, they kept sending it anyway. As far as I can tell, dentists are some of the cheapest SOBs on the planet anyway, so you can assume that most everything in the waiting room was free.

Yeah it will be. The moment the polls close you KNOW the Dems are going to be screaming ‘’fraud’’ and ‘’re-count!’’.

Newsweek once sold for $1 to a Dem apologist (husband of course of a Dem Congresswoman). Thanks to this type of reporting, it should fold before the end of this year.

Extrapolating the results of the Newsweek poll, the Democrats will not only NOT lose control of the House and Senate, they will likely gain seats. Why? Because, according to Newsweek's poll, the great majority of likely voters think the Democrats' ideas and policies are just swell and do not trust Republicans more on ANY issue except for a modest advantage on terrorism. The ONLY group that doesn't like Obamacare, stimulus spending, deficit trillions, and suffocating central government is a tiny group of white racist males over the age of 50.

Newsweek inhabits an entirely different universe, and liberals are going to read this poll and try to wish themselves into it.

Who in their right mind thinks dems are right about key issues?

“...weighted to correct for different probabilities of selection associated with the number of adults in each respondent’s household and their telephone usage patterns.”


What do telephone usage problems have to do with voting patterns? In fact, just what are “telephone usage patterns”?

I believe they are referring to whether they more often use a landline or a mobile and have access to either or both, but I’m sure there is plenty of room for mischief in all their adjustments.

Had I been polled, I could say I have both and use them as indicated by any given situation. We are a household of 2 adults. We also vote conservative. I can imagine how the weighting would be factored for our preferences.

What the ignoramuses of the MSM don't understand is that you have to be essentially angry even to become a liberal. They are so accustomed to it as a state of being, they don't even realize it anymore.

Following the dictum that liberalism is the politics of denial, it is to be expected that the nastiest, most mean-spirited leftwing bullies will deny being angry.

Conservatives at least have the virtue of knowing they are angry, and why. When the vicious assault from the left is blunted they won't be so angry any more. Gee, tough to figure that one out.

Last five polls Congressional generic by party : (including this one with REGISTERED voters:
D+5(this one), R+6 (Fox), Tie, D+1, R+2 ... R+0.4 avg
LIKELY VOTERS :
R+6, R+9 (CNN), R+5, R+5, R+2 = R+5.2 average

Headline should be :
Newsweek Publishes Push Poll to Buoy Supporters at Sparsely Attended DC Rally...

I got the numbers from RCP.
