If anyone can figure this one out, let me know.

I am stumped!

This is the same stinking FAKE Poll posted yesterday on three different threads with the same stinking lousy internals.

My post from One of Three posts of the same poll yesterday!

Some internals:

The poll of 757 randomly selected New Hampshire adults was conducted from Jan. 28 through Feb. 7 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The poll includes a subsample of 357 likely Republican voters that has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5.2 percentage points.

There is no potential Democratic challenger for President Barack Obama, but just 65 percent of likely Democratic primary voters said they plan to vote for Obama, and 27 percent are undecided. The subsample of 259 likely Democratic primary voters has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 6.1 percent.

"The numbers do not add up from previous samples of likely voters in the general population. Less "likely" Democratic voters there are 498 from the pool of "randomly selected New Hampshire adult". This includes not likely to vote Democrats, Independents and Republicans. Subtracting "likely" Republican voters we are left with 141 voters. These voters equal %18.6 of the total sample size."

"I'm not buying it. This is a fraudulent poll to create the news rather than to report it."

"It is time for everyone to start posting the stinking internals from these supposed "polls". The media is creating the news and the echo chambers of the left and many here keep repeating them!"

And NO mention of Sarah Palin. Hmmmmm, Looks like some really objective journalism being that Romney is from Ma.

BS

Liberals trying to dick-tate the TP.

The Tea Party must drink Kool-Aid in New Hampshire.

How can a group of people oppose Obamacare but support a candidate that implemented something similar when he as governor?

The libs want Romney to run against Obama. Even if Romney wins, they believe at least parts of Obamacare will be salvaged.

Maybe some members of the Tea Party in NH have been decaffeinated...

There's a lot of nonsense about New Hampshire being posted on this thread, much of which has been addressed already, and which I'm willing to forgive as it comes from people who clearly don't live here. But as to the poll itself - it was not a "Boston Globe" poll - it is a WMUR-TV (Manchester, NH) poll commissioned by the University of New Hampshire.

The poll sampled adults (i.e. - not registered voters, and definitely not likely primary voters), and then extracted a smaller subset of self-described "Republicans" and "Tea Party supporters" via cross-tabulation and recorded their current preferences.

Three points about this methodology: first, it is unreliable as a matter of sampling error rate, which increases exponentially each time one extracts a response to a subset question. Two: it is far too early (11 months before the NH primary) to draw any conclusions from any such poll, that (three) is itself only a "preference" poll of undeclared, potential, and largely unknown candidates, which naturally skews the results toward familiar faces.

I think the only conclusions one might reasonably draw from the results are that Mitt Romney is well-known in NH (he has a vacation house here and has traveled extensively throughout the state) and that Sarah Palin is relatively unpopular here (for a number of reasons, I think, but that's another subject).

[Theodore R.]

It’s not really the TEA Party there, is it? It’s uninformed, even outright dumb, NH primary voters who think they are political experts.

[who knows what evil?]

Many will protest that the NH State Legislature turned ‘red’. It sure did...a ‘Charles Bass-Judd Gregg-Susan Collins-Jim Jeffords’ shade of ‘red’. A number of libertarian ‘Free Staters’ were elected to the legislature, as well...by running as ‘Republicans’, natch.

[McGruff]

Cool. Romney can be President of New Hampshire then.
