Just had a call from Rasmussen;

All of the questions were on the economy. However, they included 2 'push questions.'

1) Will the increased cost of gasoline make you curtail your summer vacation plans this year?

2) Will the increased cost of gasoline cause you to have less money to pay your bills this year?


NOW I know how Rasmussen gets their Republican leaning poll numbers.

On the other hand, I gave the economy pretty good marks for all questions. I said NO to both of the above questions. PLUS, I said I was a small business owner, Republican, children living at home and I made a LOT of money. I'll be an outlier but...

So gas prices being high is now just a repuke talking point.  :mental:
In 2008 gas prices were the doom of society as we know it. I guess gas prices only matter if a repuke is in the white house.

If a DUmmy lies to an opinion pollster about being Republican, doesn't that imply that he'd lie to an exit pollster about voting Republican?

Clearly this means that the exit polls were wrong, and John effin' Kerry won by even more than we thought previously...

I'm not sure what point he's trying to prove.  If you're quite rich, like Kathy Peterson (kpete), $4-$5 gas isn't going to really touch you, is it?

And people wonder why nobody believes polls. Either the respondents are lying, or the internals are completely screwed.

And DUmmies, asking if the price of gas will cut into your budget or vacation is not a push poll question. A push poll question is one that says something like, "Are you more or less likely to vote for Mitt Romney knowing that Obama wants energy prices to, in his words, "necessarily skyrocket"?

THAT, DUmbshits, is a push poll question. Now go play in traffic.

Maybe if they didn't do the polls while conservatives were at work they would be more accurate.....but the DUmmies wouldn't like that.

Just sayin'  :-), BEG.  It's funny that the DUmmies believe the polls and there's no way they could be wrong, but if it goes against what they believe then the polls are manipulated.  And then they have the nerve to be offended at poll manipulation after they themselves have manipulated a poll they don't like.  Did I cover that correctly?

About ten years ago I started getting polled and now it is kind of like the telemarketers ( a pain ).  Last time I saw Rasmussen I let itgo to voicemail .   I guess next time I will have to take it and tell 'em I am a Obambi socialist. :rotf:

Guess he never heard of usin' vinegar, huh? I'm not sure they sell it in a large enough bottle to take a bath in, though.

You got it! They always have threads like "DU this poll"! It never helps 'cause we CC them and invite our Buds over at FreeRepublic to do the same. We cream 'em every time!

I get the Zogby(or whatever it is now) e-mails & usually fill out the surveys.  The only time I've ever gotten a phone poll was in '95/'96 right before the IA caucus. Told the pollster that I was voting for Steve Forbes and I could tell it was a push-poll because he hung up on me.:D

Kinda sorta. They always tell us they have a 2 to 5% error.
