newsweek poll: obama up 51-36. can I get an eye roll, please?

[Wretched Excess]

the polls are all over the place. newsweek has obama up 51-36.

the internals are at the link.  republicans 22%/dems 36%/independents 37%.  26% "non-white".  53% female. 23% hillary supporters (read : LIBERALS)  they also vastly inflated the 18-39 year old turnout.

this isn't a poll.  it's propaganda.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Polling percentages of republicans 22%....non-whites 26%....

yeah, I have no idea why they bothered to even release the damn thing.  if I was the editor of newsweek, I would haven eaten it.  it's that bad.

What a load of nonsense.  There've been some pretty bad polls released in the past, but this one takes the cake.

the quinnipiac battleground state poll was almost as bad, but they had the good sense to hide their internals.

Ooobama is a uniter dammit!1!!!!11111

polls schmolls.

They are clearly trying to a) keep the ooobama nutz happy b) snap the hill supporters into line c) scare the crap out of the retirement home set that supports that nice Johnny McCain.

tee hee!!!!!!!!!! you lay your chain out there, it's gonna get yanked.

Okay, I give this thread 10 minutes before it devolves into debauchery.

we are already ruining poor Mia's "wish me luck" thread. 

[DixieBelle]

pretty much

[Wretched Excess]

we haven't talked about this in a while, but I guess it's also possible that we are seeing "the wilder effect" in these polls.  hillary consistently got significantly more votes than the pre-election polls or the exit polls indicated.   

[Wretched Excess]

although after the quinippiac poll, rove was on fox news and moved either OH or PA (can't remember which) into the "obama" column, and FL into the "tossup" category.  he mentioned the quinnipiac poll by name . . . .

[Karl]Rove said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., "needs to come right at him." He referred to the latest Newsweek poll showing Obama with a 15-point lead over McCain as nonsense, though he used a more scatological synonym. Rove said he was heading over to the White House for lunch and a chat with the President, Klein reports.

And I'll never forgive you for it either.  That thread was about me damnit!

Someone with a good memory can correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't nearly every poll in 2004 show Kerry with a sizable lead over Bush? I seem to recall that it was supposed to be a slam dunk for Kerry who, by the way, served in Vietnam.

Don't make me go all Skinner on you.   

Most people aren't paying attention to the race right now anyways.  I might be more inclined to actually care about polls starting after the conventions.

kerry was up 17% points after his convention.  it tightened up after the GOP convention.

indeed he did.  it is seared, seared into his memory.  and all of ours, too, after hearing that crap 5 trillion times in 2004.

I actually plan my week around poll numbers being released.  "let's see . . . newsweek is monday, then on wednesday . . .".

Methinks it might be a mistake to believe this. I think the Jeramiah rants snapped everybody to!

I don't know why but I have the hardest time managing quotes!
