Don't Believe The Battleground Poll...
Edited on Sun Oct-24-04 03:23 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
Ed Goas(s) is a GOP shill who pretends to be a pollster....


His final poll showed Bush* beating Gore by 5% in 00....50-45

I don't make crap up.... Here's the proof

Busted....You knucklehead....


Of all the "conventional" pollsters he was the most off in 00...


I wouldn't trust that clown to count to ten...

I see TIPP is coming up with funny numbers too... They had Bush up by nine two days before the election...

Not bad.... Busted two knuckleheads and it's not even dinner time...

Democrat Since Birth deserves a cookie...

3. The Battleground Poll is a bi-partisan poll that includes
a democrat, Celinda Lake, as well. I'm not saying I believe it entirely (it conflicts with other polls), but I think it is pretty trustworthy.

5. It Sucks...
Edited on Sun Oct-24-04 03:44 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
Ed Goas(s) and Celinda Lake were on a panel a couple of days before the election and Celinda Lake opined that Gore would win...

Obviously she didn't even believe her own numbers...

Ed Goas(s) has his "own" weighting system that assumes large Republican turnouts...

Not in 00 and not in this election baby........

4. Polls
Gallup is the daddy of them all when it comes to bias.

If their last poll had reflected the turnout of republicans and dems from last election bush would be up by 2.4% instead of 8%.


One of their polls a while ago polled 43% republicans and 31% dems.

6. I Have Problems With Gallup
but I will attribute the flaws in that poll to unintentional bias...

Ed Goas(s) is a Republican shill who manipulates the numbers to make Pukes look better...

Look at my link...

He did the worst job of all the conventional pollsters in 00...

7. I remember that poll well
They were way off. Most other polls at least showed Gore closing in; they didn't.
