The pollsters ALL dislike her
The people that do the polling ALL share the same goals! There is no pollster that wants Sarah Palin as President, that is what it boils down to.
So you are so naive that you think polling is a science, and the people doing it have no agenda and are absolutely not capable of showing any bias? This is what you believe?
I will give you an example of what I mean, Pre Palin as far as I am concerned, I never heard of her until probably 2007.
Fox News Opinion Dynamics based in Manchester NH, terrible bias outfit. Their very last poll just prior to the 2004 election, they did the poll over the Halloween Weekend.
released the poll even though they knew it was troubling, it showed Kerry up going into the final few days. Everybody from CNN TO NBC etc, you name it shouted this poll from the rooftops.
For sure it was wrong, Thank God! They had the man in charge of that poll on a few days after the election to talk about it, he was sheepish, admitted that they thought it questionable but released it anyway. He said their first mistake was polling on Halloween when many Republicans /voters were taking their kids out to trick or treat.
They were trying to throw the election.
Have you never noticed that anytime a Republican leads in any race, that the Democrats always close at the end? That is the pollsters trying to manufacture opinion.
ALL the pollsters from Rasmussen down, all personally dislike Sarah Palin, this is not even debatable, they did the same thing to GW Bush, but even worse to Gov Palin.
I am certain there is nothing I can say to convince you/anybody, but it is true, ALL the pollsters allow their personal bias to determine their polling.
George Gallup was a wonderful Christian man and a pioneer in polling, he was probably the last honest pollster that could be said used scientific methods.
Name me a pollster that is not MSM or Rep Establishment, there are none.
The other thing is this, when a pollster has a poll that is not in line with the others he may actually edit it. NBC/WSJ allows Up Chuck Todd to take part in the polling, as to the wording of the questions etc.
It`s not like it`s against the law to make up phony polls,nobody is charged or goes to jail.
People that believe in political polling are so naive, what can I say.
MSM/Rep est wanted to push Bachmann because they knew she was a loser from the getgo, now they are pushing Perry, they will start to turn on him.
Right now one of their main goals is to try and persuade Gov Palin to not get in the race, this is what a good part of the Perry surge is about.
The Pollsters do not want Gov Palin to run
I see. It’s a conspiracy and they are all in on it.
Good luck with that.
I don't want to rain on your parade BUT..... There is much to what you have to say. OTOH, I will name two pollsters whom I know and who are neither MSM nor Establishment Republican: Lydia Saad who has long been employed by Gallup. Solid professional. Exceptional human being. She may be a rare exception but she is certainly an exception. Also Frank Luntz whose company may do work for NBC but he has always been a conservative since he was Connecticut chairman of Teen-Aged Republicans (TARs) in the Reagan era all too many years ago.
BTW, I think Sarah Palin is a terrific public figure. God bless you and yours.
