I heard Fred Barnes say today on Special Report during the panel discussion that the latest Gallup Poll was done on a weekend and that the sample was 47-48%! I read a day or so ago that it was a weekend poll but I hadn't heard that the sample{Democrat)was that large. Can anybody add to what Fred said or from another source about this poll? Thanks.

http://www.andrewsullivan.com/ Sullivan picked up on that as well.
"BY THE WAY: Do most national polls have 48 percent Democrats, like the CNN/USA Today poll? It seems pretty loaded in that direction to me. Where are all the Independents?"

Telephone polls are worthless. Only people who participate are lonely and/or bored.

I heard him say that on the show, as well. He said something about the fact that those types of polls are done on weekends when more Dems are home...etc.

With caller ID, the telephone poll sampling is getting worse by the day. If I don't know someone, I don't answer!

"Telephone polls are worthless. Only people who participate are lonely and/or bored." And yet that's how polling is done nowadays.

If I don't know someone, I don't answer!A typically conservative attitude. No wonder these polls are so screwy. I don't talk to pollsters either.

You could be right, all I know is that I've never been polled. I guess I'm not the only one. I've never heard of anybody that I know that's ever been polled either.

I've had this weird thought buzzing around my head for days, I don't think we really have all these Democratic presidential candidates out there. It bothers me that they are rarely critical of each other, and spend damned near their entire time beating on Bush.
These guys are actually assassins, chipping away at Bush, and trying to figure out whether the president could be beaten or not, and weakening him as much as possible in the meantime.
I don't think we've seen the real Democratic candidate yet.

Its WAAAAAY too early to get worked up over these polls. There is tons of news that will happen between now and November '04 - and the final news cycle that happens within 72 hours of the election will have a huge impact.
Besides, the public hasn't even begun to analyze the platform of whatever the dumbocrat running against Bush has to offer. Relaxxxxxx.
To: MasonGal
Thanks,MasonGal for confirming what I heard him say. It sure made me feel better,especially since I hadn't heard the part about the sample.

Weekend polls are bad as all the Republicans are at the golf course,tennis club,summer home ,or on their yachts.... where as the Dems are at home trying to get their relatives to return the $15.00 they stole, so they pay last June's rent...

Polls are worthless. The only polls that matter are the polls on election day (or polls who say whichever candidate I like and support are ahead -- then it is a GOOD POLL to site here and anywhere else).
