Now if the poll were taken using equal amounts of RATS and Republicans, and picked random, we should be with the President at about 65%. Polls are currently crap.
Amen. The internals of these news media polls are just BS. Why ask 51% Dems and 40% Reps? Another one Brit Hume even mentioned only had 29% Reps polled. Conservative talk radio needs to begin exposing and laying it on about these polls. They did the same thing with Reagan and then gave BC 57% approval during impeachment.
The polls won't be anywhere near accurate again until closer to the midterms. Meantime they get by with this. Didn't Rush or Hannity or Levin have statistical analysis of variance in school? Or how about George Will or Ann Coulter?
Rasmussen is the only one that I know of that is not intentionally doctoring his polls right now.
