Bill Schneider analyzing bogus polls
speaking very seriously and pedantically about the meaningless, deceptive numbers, speaking as if they mean something, and giving all the bogus reasons they supposedly mean something.

He sounds very sincere. :eyes:

2. Right
I'm sure so many poor,young, urban voters are home to talk to pollsters. What was the sample size of that group for the poll? 2?

Seriously, I really wonder how many R's think it's fun to lie in polls. I actually think if I ever got called, I'd just make up the most Republican cliche I could think of before answering the questions. "I'm a white, evangelical christian, filty rich big-business oilman. What can I answer for you today?"

7. Bogus Polls analyze Bill Schneider
finds a shallow whore who hates America and cares not about a free press. finds the first amendment disturbing. Loathes the FACT that he must shill for his handlers on CNN. Has wet dreams about britt hume. Can be found shopping at adolph's secret. Longs for the day when the only poll he has to analyze is limbaughs.

9. Schneider analyzing political polls is like..

..Dr. Mengele performing a physical on a Gypsy.

Either way, you know the results are ugly and predetermined and guided by bias.

10. Schneider acted like he had poop in his pants when he had to
admit Kerry won all three debates the night of the final one.

It's crazy CNN doesn't disclaim the AEI connection. Pure corruption.

11. I have to seriously question this poll, and find it hard to believe...
we would see that big a shift in such a short time barring some major news event to cause it. I know some will say the Mary Cheney issue may have had an effect, but I seriously doubt it caused that much of a shift.

In my opinion, this is simply an outlier and there's no way Bush is doing that well among urban and poor voters. That would be like saying Kerry is polling even among Fundies.

12. His "poll of polls" omitted Reuters/Zogby and Rasmussen...
Both have the race tied which would change their "combined" numbers considerably.

Zogby, for my money, is the most accurate in the business.
