seems like too many women. Should be about 51% female

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for the numbers.

It looks like they've reversed themselves and sampled more Democrats this time. A clear case of manufacturing the mo', in my opinion.

Does anyone else notice any glaring red flags here? The 30th was limited to the Mountain and Pacific Times. It does not say how many people were interviewed on that date. And an over-sampling of "independent" voters.

"(interviewing on 9/30 limited to the Pacific and Mountain time zones after the presidential debate concluded)"

So they're saying they polled the LEFT COAST late on Thursday, in addition to polling on Saturday MORNING???

Newsweek is also the poll that had Kerry +7 (7/29-30) and Bush +11 (9/2-3).

Sorry, I just don't buy this. Extremely flawed sampling. Newsweek must know and wants to sell some magazines.

They oversampled on Democrats...
