and... all of those older attentive Americans happen to be liberals from New England... land of the moonbat !!
two things I note from a quick review of the data. 1) The sample is off. Republicans are vastly under-sampled, and independents and Dems are both over samples. 2) The younger groups are actually most favorable...and that group is the most affected. Older voters not even impacted are what is swaying the poll. Sad.
Another note...we are clearly winning over those that know nothing. I guess that is good. :)
Goodness knows I’m no expert on surveys but I got a little common sense going on in my head.
Anytime you have almost a quarter of the poll subjects having no opinion whatsoever, especially on an item that will affect EVERYBODY in America eventually, absolutely nothing can be derived from the poll results.
Using this common sense thing (which the Ruling class does not have, that’s why it’s called common), I daresay that this poll will move all over the place once the public learns more about the issue.
First, I’m not convinced “older” Americans are opposed to Ryan’s plan. In this poll they seem to be defining older as 50 and up.
Which is kind of misleading because everyone 55 and older is not affected by Ryan’s proposal. So you’re lumping a bunch of people totally non-affected by the plan in with a group of people VERY affected by the plan. Seems an awkward way to present the data but let me study it a little more.
My main point is, somebody wanted polls done over the Ryan proposal, unless the Pew people did it for free, possible I guess. And somebody wanted a result that they could use for political purposes, whatever they might have been.
This for a subject that’s still in its infancy and very vague to most of those polled.
To summarize, no sensible conclusions can be drawn from any poll where almost 1 out of 4 of those polled have no input.
Our nation is spending money we don't have like wildfire. We need to make some significant changes or we are going to sink like a stone.
“attentive” = those who faithfully read their AARP newsletter
Remember, the “older” folks still read newspapers, watch TV evening news and probably scan the AARP junk mail. Those three sources could be producing constant inaccurate propaganda.
FReepers should know that Pew is a propaganda arm of the democrat party.
Here’s the thread:

Anytime Pew honks its Marxist horn, the OP should direct FReepers to the above thread in the first post.
Lots of educating needs to happen.
Hussein’s plan is disaster.
“Attentive”? lulz.
More like from people who are easily mis-informed or who fell hook, line, and sinker for the Democrats Mediscare BS. How’s that for summing up the opposition to Medicare, Pew? Idiots. =.=
