Since when did Pollster.com turn into Huffington Post (Vanity)
http://www.pollster.com ^

I remember a time when polling sites such as pollster.com were more independent, so why is it that Huffington Post appears to have taken the reigns of such a great independent polling site and turn it into a liberal slanting POS?

First thing I see on the front page is slams toward the tea party, GOP, and Michael Moore ranting about how the Democrats can stay in power this November. Not only that, but the comments have been disabled for polls that show Obama's negative approval ratings but no where else. One can easily read a slam towards the right wing party and you'll read an atrocious amount of liberal biased comments and hardly one conservative response if any at all.

This seems to me that Der Fuhrer is getting whooped left and right and they can't allow that to happen so the liberals made a deal to try and persuade the weak voters to vote for them, such a shame!

No appearance about it. They own and run Pollster.com. Just another way for them to "control and make" the news

Like the media, one cannot trust polls anymore either.

The only trustworthy poll seems to be Rasmussen.

That’s a shame. Blumenthal was an honest Democrat, obviously now co-opted by the $$$. I remember how he dismantled RFK Jr’s ignorant analysis of the ‘04 Ohio Presidential vote, RFK seeking to prove with hand-waving arguments that Bush had stolen it . That refutation would indubitably be spiked under Huffpo. Apparently it all went down 9/29. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/29/welcome-to-huffpost-polls_n_744368.html

Try Polling Report. Not quite as user-friendly as Polling Report used to be. On the other hand, it is free of leftist tripe and actually has more information that Pollster had or has.

Watch your backside: There’s a coterie of dedicated Rasmussen-haters here on FR, and they probably would jump at the chance to flame you.

I do not even trust Rass polls. The science of polling is dead
