MARK LEVIN: And you see folks, they all look at this poll, this NBC poll, and this has been all over FOX News today. And unfortunately nobody there reads PJ Media or listens to talk radio or reads the internet, because the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll is a fraud, an absolute fraud. Bryan Preston, he points it out.
A sharp reader caught a statistical problem with that much-cited NBC/WSJ poll that shows Republicans are getting whooped in the shutdown.
One-in-five respondents work for the federal government, twenty-percent of those polled. And yet in real life, eight-percent work for the federal government. And he points to it and you can go to the complete poll with the sample and the questions. From the very last page they of the breakdown of where these eight hundred respondents were.
The wording of the question is broad enough to sweep in spouses of government workers and other situations in which the respondent themselves may not work for the government in some way, but someone closely related to them does. Oversampling government workers may not always lead to a skewed result — government workers include the bureaucrats we all have in mind here, but also the wife of the local sheriff who’s as conservative as can be. Nevertheless, we do have government workers heavily sampled, by more than twice the actual percentage of Americans who work for the government. Then let’s factor in the poll’s partisan sample, which was 43-32 Democrat, the percent that admits voting for Obama, which was 44 versus just 35 for Romney, and this looks like a left-heavy sample. Then, factor in NBC’s role. That network is not to be trusted.

WSJ went over to the Kenyan’s side at the same time Wall Street did. Nothing but a bunch of greedy, hammer and sickle “capitalists” now. They don’t care if the communists take over America as long as the big bucks keep rolling in.
Trashing of Cruz... coordinated poll with NBC-Newscorp, propaganda to force GOP to backdown. Not fair or balanced
This poll gave the Es the excuse to do what they wanted to do anyway.
WSJ does have a good crossword puzzle on Fridays (free on the web).
It figures the WSJ is consistently against the best interests of America. It’s just a rag for NWO globalists and crony capitalists. Both groups are a greater threat to America than the muzzies will ever be.
America is done
The only tally that counts is in 13 months.
And I’m not predicting we will enjoy the results.
Someone has to give the RINO’s a reason to stampede. A poll that’s
a fraud is just the reason they need.
Of course it’s a fraudulent poll.
GO TGO!
Lol it’s all over and the only patriots in the while country are Ted Cruz, SarahPalin and Mike Lee. C’mon. This board has worked itself into hysterics the past couple of days.
Yup, they’ll turn their phones off and read the polls. And we’ll make a note of it, and vote.
Ministry of Propaganda. BTTT. Polls are frauds.
WE ARE THE ONES THAT SUPPORT FOX NEWS! START SCREAMING FROM THE ROOTOPS!!! They need to hear from their
viewers! What about the truckers today? OUR SIDE seems to always be
complacent! Unless we become RABID the same way they do, our country is LOST! GOD BLESS TED CRUZ AND MIKE LEE, however WE have NOTdone enough! During this entire debacle THE DEMS raised more money than ever reported in one week! WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO NOW? I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!!
The Rats are losing. It’s a worthless Ministry of Propaganda story.
