[italianquaker]

Took a peek, seems to be adults and I think(double check) 200 more democrats polled than republicans. Dont know how this compares to the last poll

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

Never underestimate America’s total insanity.

[snarkytart]

Pew was tied #1 with Rasmussen for most accurate pollster in the 2008 election.

Pew is about the most biased of leftist polls

PEW....Indeed

[Gay State Conservative]

..among 2,973 adults, including 2,373 registered voters...

So not only were those polled not likely voters,a good portion weren't even registered voters.

[God luvs America]

the second graph- “Independents Now Split over Who Can Best Handle the economy” proves why this poll is a joke...

we are to believe from June to July, 4% more Republicans (9% from former poll to 13% from new poll) beleive obama is better equipped to handle the economy versus Romney despite Junes horrid jobs report??

[italianquaker]

Am I right? Did they poll about 25pct more rats than GOP?
If so what did they poll the last time?

METHODOLOGY:

Most of the analysis in this report is based on telephone interviews conducted June 28-July 9, 2012 among a national sample of 2973 adults, 18 years of age or older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia (1771 respondents were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 1202 were interviewed on a cell phone, including 596 who had no landline telephone). The survey was conducted by interviewers at both Princeton Data Source and Universal Survey under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International. A combination of landline and cell phone random digit dial samples were used; both samples were provided by Survey Sampling International. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. Respondents in the landline sample were selected by randomly asking for the youngest adult male or female who is now at home. Interviews in the cell sample were conducted with the person who answered the phone, if that person was an adult 18 years of age or older. For detailed information about our survey methodology, see http://people-press.org/methodology/

The combined landline and cell phone sample are weighted using an iterative technique that matches gender, age, education, race, Hispanic origin and nativity and region to parameters from the March 2011 Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey and population density to parameters from the Decennial Census. The sample also is weighted to match current patterns of telephone status and relative usage of landline and cell phones (for those with both), based on extrapolations from the 2011 National Health Interview Survey. The weighting procedure also accounts for the fact that respondents with both landline and cell phones have a greater probability of being included in the combined sample and adjusts for household size within the landline sample. Sampling errors and statistical tests of significance take into account the effect of weighting. The following table shows the sample sizes and the error attributable to sampling that would be expected at the 95% level of confidence for different groups in the survey:

[ilovesarah2012]

Silly, you don’t have to be registered to vote. You don’t even have to be alive!

[cpa4you]

Registered voters? Who cares about registered voters? What are the “internals?” Was there oversampling, again.
