The conservative AOL has released a poll whose results have got to be making the Bushites cringe.
03/25/05 :: By Tom Ball Pollsters Simply Cannot Protect Bush EnoughCategories :: Polling
By making a few reasonable assumptions, we are able to get a rough idea of where Bush’s REAL approval rating is -- simply derive the approval rating for the independents, (something that was not given but can be derived from the available information) and change the weightings to a more realistic level of 33% for each political affiliation Dem/Rep/Ind. With that, we see that Bush’s approval rating of only 34.8%!
02/11/05 :: By Tom Ball Gallup Overweights Poll with Republicans -- AGAINCategories :: Polling
Here we go again.
The other day, Gallup released a poll showing a spike in Bush's approval ratings to 57%, up 6 points from 51% three weeks ago. Gallup speculated that the Iraqi elections were the impetus for the spike, but our friend, Steve Soto over at The Left Coaster was quick to spot the true source of the spike.
Apparently, the Gallup organization is fond of Republicans -- after all, they found it appropriate to overload them (by 9%) in their latest Bush poll.
11/08/04 :: By Delton Murphy Who Let The Bush Win?Categories :: Discrimination :: Election 2004 :: Elections :: Polling :: Progressive Strategy :: Reference
In order to effectively frame the dialogue and shape the language necessary for progressive change, we must first take an introspective and honest look at both who and how America voted in last week's election.
11/08/04 :: By Delton Murphy Riddle Me ThisCategories :: Criminal Acts :: Election 2004 :: Kerry, John :: Polling :: Theories
Theories are thriving in the middle of all the turmoil and uncertainty surrounding the Presidential Election. Some argue the obvious: Kerry knew he didn't have the votes so threw in the towel. Other more imaginative theorists surmise that the Skull and Bones Duo and distant cousins staged the whole thing from the beginning. Will we ever find out what really happened?
11/01/04 :: By Delton Murphy Today's Thoughts for TomorrowCategories :: Election 2004 :: Polling

10/31/04 :: By Tom Ball Tracking Polls Looking Good for KerryCategories :: Polling

10/27/04 :: By Tom Ball Battleground PollsCategories :: Election 2004 :: Polling
Looking at three independent pollsters: Have to say, I'm feeling pretty good about all of these! Don't understand the Zogby numbers though...showing Kerry in the lead in Colorado -- an outlier. Hmmm. Also, even if Zogby is correct with the OHIO numbers, it doesn't bode well for Bush if the best he can pull is 46% of the vote. Remember, undecideds break for the challenger and all that.

09/28/04 :: By Stu Finkel What the Fuck are the Pollsters Thinking?Categories :: Polling
But more importantly, the polls themselves must be considered more and more suspect. As has been noted here and elsewhere around the blogosphere over the past month, they are heavily skewed towards Republicans, even though self-declared Democrats usually outnumber Republicans.
09/19/04 :: By Stu Finkel Polls up their you know whatsCategories :: Polling
The wide divergence in polls that has been seen especially this past week is nothing short of bizzarre. As the headlines up here on this website today indicate, things, if anything, seem to be swinging back Kerry's way
