No matter how you voted today, do you usually think of yourself as a: | ||||||||
% of total | category | % of category | ||||||
40 | Democrat | 88 | 11 | 0 | 1 | |||
28 | Republican | 11 | 87 | 0 | 2 | |||
32 | Independent | 49 | 46 | 0 | 4 | |||
The same thing I say on the "Bush is losing in the polls" threads --- how on earth can there be a reliable poll today? Who answers their telephones anymore if they have caller ID --- or are at work all day? They can't do a man on the street kind of poll --- that certainly is no good cross section either. Exactly how are these polls made up? How does any pollster even pretend they have a good representative number of anyone? Maybe it's those pop-ups that keep coming up on our screens asking us who we would vote for? Those are the absolute only polls I've seen or heard of lately.
32% self identified independents?
That's...striking.
If I may engage in some baseless presumption, could much of that apparently high figure be the result of voters being alienated by-
A. an inept GOP; and
B. a corrupt, Machine/black controlled Democrat party?
Is it possible that this is fertile ground for an "outside the box" candidate?
