Polls may not be predictive, but even a poll that doesn’t reflect the actual condition of the electorate can still show you the trend line

No, not if it increases the "D" sample.

This article is completely full of slop.

Exactly. And this guy is FOXNews’ polling guru.

August Poll
QP had sample D+7. Obama was up 6.

September Poll
QP had sample D+10. Obama up 10.

The only trend is... If you add more Dems, Obama’s margin increases.

My sentiments exactly! And what really ticks me off is FOX’s willingness to continually promote this meme. All that accomplishes is to legitimize bogus polls. So much for fair and balanced!

Chris Stirwalt is the Fox “polling” expert who came up with the nerdy “twitter meter” during the conventions. If you can create poll results using tweets, then I guess you can do it with anything. Fox is in the Obama tank.
