Is this normal? Yes. The margin of error is a function of sample size. The smaller the sample size, the larger the margin of error.
To: KQQL
Just remember what the LA Slimes did to Simon. They skewed their poll to show Davis ahead by 8 points. The RNC was so surprised, they investigated and discovered the LA Slimes had used 51% dems and 36% repubs for their poll, giving Davis the edge.
When the RNC redid the poll, they came out with only a 2% lead for Davis.
I have a feeling this is what's going on with all the "too close to call races". If the actual numbers were known, it wouldn't be so close. The dems are hoping the repubs will think "we're already behind, we're going to lose - why bother voting".
We must get people out to vote. I'm going to be precinct walking again tomorrow. Talk to everyone you know!

So the margin of error would be higher in each district because of the small sampling.
To: KQQL
Folks.......The unfavorabe/favorable ratings are virtually the same despite Hutchinson's actions. How on Earth can he be down so much??? I am thinking voters may be rejecting him for another reason besides his moral lacking.
To: churchillbuff
Why couldn't Hutchinson keep his pants on?!? Could you sound more stupid if you tried? They got divorced. That's it. If you have evidence of adultery, I'd sure like to see it, since nobody else does.

I agree. Don't put any stock in this poll, and do not be discouraged; that's what the dims and the media want. Get out the vote; get out the vote; get out the vote!!! Rigged polls like this should make you want to fight back HARDER on election day.

Unless you are a Democrat, of course. Then somehow your poll numbers go higher.

DUMP YOUR WIFE, LOSE AN ELECTION.Do you have evidence that he "dumped" her, as opposed to her dumping him or the two of them mutually divorcing? If not, STFU.
To: conservative_2001
I said it, not him.
If you think the man who was not honorable enough to stay with his wife was honorable enough not to sleep with his new one before the divorce, then I have to wonder who the stupid one is.
To: KQQL
Let's see what ZOGBy comes with in AR pollI agree. This Arkansas News Bureau is constantly showing Hutchinson down by far more than anyone else believes, or other polling confirms.

If we win Arkansas it would be a HUGE night for us. Not gonna happen though...

DUMP YOUR WIFE, LOSE AN ELECTION
Only if you are a Republican. It is your personal business if you are a Dem.
To: The Wizard
I don't believe it either. Here in Oklahoma we had two TV stations (both NBC affiliates I believe) give similar poll results on Steve Largent. They said the RAT had pulled ahead.
Then the Sooner Survey poll came out which has been right in every one of the races they have done here in Oklahoma in past years and Largent was ahead by 10.
What I gleaned from that is not to trust who TV stations hire to do their polls. Believe it was the same group BTW.
To: CyberAnt
Good point. There was a very interesting report on a radio station in New York tonight -- apparently Max Cleland is in big trouble in Georgia. The story I heard was that there are many black voters in Georgia who are so p!ssed off at how McKinney was defeated in her primary that they are going to stay home on Election Day.
To: Tennessean4Bush
I don't have an opinion about Hutchinson, I live in NJ and don't follow AR politics closely.
I know the Stephens famile are allies of the Clinton's. ANYONE who associates with the Clinton's is generally a liar and a cheat. That doesn't mean this poll isn't accurate. Hence the question about whether their polls are reliable.
In the Metro NY area the local polls (espically, Quinnipiac, Marist and Eagleton) are very unreliable. They had Whitman behind 11% and she won by 2%, Pataki behind Cuomo by 10%+ and Pataki won, Franks 18% behind Corzine, he lost by 2%. This makes me question the track record of any pollster.

Why is it the electorate finds morality when it is a Republican who screws up??
To: comebacknewt
I said it, not him.Actually, he also made these accusations. I just didn't respond to you at the time.
If you think the man who was not honorable enough to stay with his wife was honorable enough not to sleep with his new one before the divorce, then I have to wonder who the stupid one is.
Where is your evidence? How do you know that he left her, not her leaving him or that it was a mutual divorce. All indications are it was the latter. Show me the evidence.
