Vote by Gender in Florida 2004 |
|
I guess what I'm trying to say is not that simple!
In Florida 2004, the "Gender vote" was composed of:
- 46% MALES
- 54% FEMALES
CNN and NBC are "happy with it" and they assign "victory points spread" to Bush over Kerry:
- 7 percentage points among MALES (Bush + 7) or 53% to 46%
- 1 percentage point among FEMALES (Bush + 1) or 50% to 49%
CBS does not seem to care about that analysis. They are breaking down for you the composition of the vote by candidate.
They are saying that by gender the voters ID themselves as:
- Kerry: 56% FEMALES - 44% MALES
- Bush: 52% FEMALES - 48% MALES

1. I did look at the site with the CNN, NBC and CBS numbers |
|
Very confusing. I THINK what you are saying is that CNN & NBC are reporting 'apples', and CBS is reporting 'oranges'? That CBS numbers are meaningless as to reporting what % of the vote went to each candidate????

100% of the female respondents voted and 100% of male respondents voted. So.... meaningless, right?

4. Yes again, they ordered to post data without value itself |
|
That would become valuable if connected with other set of variables.

CBS has decided for some reason to talk about "oranges", while CNN and NBC have decided randomly to talk about "apples."
Ant the effect is clear, that creates confusion among the uninformed and the regular viewers.

7. Stupidity? Incompetence? Deliberate muddying? |
|
Are these the numbers that were shown on the air? CBS seems to be the one showing the most useless numbers?

8. The numbers were different that night |
|
CBS has decided to mudd the waters of revision by keeping posted useless and harmless figures, in their "judgment" at least, that would prevent observers from rethinking the results.

Think perhaps they may be wanting to distance themselves from the bullshit statistics?
