ABC news cites skewed poll
Recall:

Yes: 66%
No : 32%
Und: 2%

This was a poll of "certain voters". While the reporter stated that fact, I doubt most viewers who aren't political junkies like us would recognize how that skews the votes: to Republicans, who vote early and vote often.

This was a poll done ON BEHALF of ABC news. The whores keep reaching new heights.

2. Don't disbelieve scientific polls, just because they bear bad news (n/t)

3. Huh?
Did you read my post?

I don't disbelieve the possibility that 66% of self-identifying "certain voters" support a recall. I just question how accurately that represents what the actual vote count would be. If only "certain voters" voted, then sure... Republicans would be in just about every elected office in this nation.
