Why You Should Ignore The Gallup Poll (and the rest for that matter!)

"the Gallup Poll, despite its reputation, assumes that this November 40% of those turning out to vote will be Republicans, and only 33% will be Democrat."

<...>

"Worse yet, Gallup just confirmed for me that this is the same sampling methodology they have been using this whole election season, for all their national and state polls."

<...>

"According to John Zogby himself:

If we look at the three last Presidential elections, the spread was 34% Democrats, 34% Republicans and 33% Independents (in 1992 with Ross Perot in the race); 39% Democrats, 34% Republicans, and 27% Independents in 1996; and 39% Democrats, 35% Republicans and 26% Independents in 2000."




We should be ignoring ALL polls!

Just spread the truth about the lies of Bush and the strengths of Kerry! We can post that Poll A says this and Poll B says that but none of that makes a damn bit of difference!!

I'm sick of seeing these polls posted and discussed up here!


Let's discuss the news! Polls are NOT news!

2. For whatever good it does.

I'm beginning to think no one up here cares about real news or issues. I spend half my time click the little 'x' to ignore threads about polls or what some pundit has to spin.

3. Ignoring the Polls Isn't Good Enough -- Gallup is In On the Caper

We cannot *ignore* the polls. We must *expose* them!

For the regime to steal the election, they need some polls to back
them up. When we question the 2002 elections that brought in Sen
Saxby Chambliss (R-Diebold) we point to the discrepancy between
the last polls and the final result. We also point to the mysterious
disapperance of the exit polls for that race.

If some major polling organizations show Booosh ahead on Election Day,
it becomes far easier for the Republicans to steal the election, because
the people will believe the results if they match the polls.

They have to get the networks to play along on the "exit polls",
which they will be falling over each other to do,
with whichever network whores the most (Faux probably, though
the competition is getting fierce) being treated to the "real"
Diebold results first so they can "scoop" the others.

4. And Gallup has been rightly exposed...what I'm talking about is...

people posting every single mom-and-pop poll that says this or that and crying or cheering with each one.

It's insanity!
