Hit Poll PING!
Did you read the comments below the article? Very informative. Based on the comments presented, this is a bogus poll. If everyone on FR voted for her 1,000 times, it would show her behind.
This Dittman Poll is garbage, but let the PDSers cling to it in the vain hope that the crowds and buzz Palin generates is just a mirage. They are in denial now, but as she continues her inexorable march to the nomination, it will be fascinating to watch as their denial gives was to dejection and perhaps even to despair.
Dittman’s so-called poll has been thoroughly exposed as fraudulent:
“The Dittman Research & Communications Corporation, let out a doosie today.
In a poll of 400 “public-at-large” (and not Alaska residents as Amanda Coyne of the Alaska Dispatch claimed), Murkowski was determined to be well loved across the state and Palin was determined to be unliked.
The views of Alaskans, which encompass a diverse population of over 700,000 residents covering over 550,000 square miles of vast terrain, were somehow easily summarized by 400 “public at large” who answered their phone between March 3rd and March 17th, 2011. The survey, as is customary for this organization, fails to identify likely voters or registered voters. It fails to show sample size of republicans, democrats, and independents represented...
During the 2010 elections, this same organization took significant flack from conservative websites and continues to be often linked to by Alaskan liberal websites. They have also been quite wrong at times...
The new meme: “Palin=bad. Murkowski=good.” But please don’t ask difficult questions. We called 400 people who said they were in Alaska and that’s what they said, so it must be true. We don’t know anything about them, but we’re sure we’re right.” “
I also recall a poll in the midst of the 1980 election cycle that showed Jimmy Carter beating Reagan IN California. Jerry Brown was the governor and the Senator was leftist Alan Cranston. They were pushing the meme that Reagan was so unpopular at home that he would lose the Golden State to Carter. Reagan won it by 17%, a razor thin margin (LOL) of 1.5 million votes.
If anyone thinks Palin wouldn’t clobber Obama in Alaska, they need to be hustled off to a rubber room FAST.
