More proof that the right is insane & stupid: The website where Mitt Romney’s winning in a landslide
I present UnSkewedPolls.com, the best new website on the political Internet. UnSkewed Polls finally removes the liberal media bias from every single national opinion poll, and it turns out that unskewing them means making it so that Romney is ahead by a lot. Rick Perry approves!
The UnSkewed Average has Romney at 51.8 percent and Obama at a mere 44 percent. How does the genius behind UnSkewed Polls go about unskewing all the polls like, for real, the vast majority of polls that show the opposite result? Well, Dean Chambers, the polling genius behind the site, simply re-weights every single national poll to reflect his belief that Republicans are undersampled, based on right-leaning pollster Rasmussens partisan breakdown of the electorate. (Scott Rasmussen blurbs: you cannot compare partisan weighting from one polling firm to another.)
And obviously re-weighting every single poll to reflect an electorate made up of a plurality of self-identified Republicans also involves a bit of guesswork! Like, for example, sometimes polls dont include crosstabs, so Mr. Unskewed just assumes theyre skewed with liberal media bias, and corrects accordingly.
Rasmussens party ID makeup does not remotely resemble any other organizations party ID makeup. Every other organization finds that more Americans identify as Democrats or independents than Republicans, and that has been the case for years, even as Democratic Party affiliation has fallen. (Even in horrible years for Democrats, Gallup and Pew find more people identifying as Democrat than Republican.) Correcting polls to reflect Rasmussens outlier party ID finding basically means predicting Romney will win by a wider margin than any candidate from either party since 1988, which is
unlikely!
