I know what you’re saying. I’m more concerned if FReepers get suckered on such polling. We ought not even post polling data on races here unless they are explicitly stated to be “likely voters.”

What you said is true, and i remember threads talking about it also, but JR or Mods never did anything about it. Probably too hard to moderate since every freaking “poll” is posted w/o any digging into internals and an analysis given.

At the least, the poster could indicate the make-up of the polling sample. Few things annoy me more than a thread of a couple hundred FReepers waxing outraged over a poll of registered voters that predicts an Obama win.

A poll like that is just not worth commenting on.
