FRED BARNES-today said: Latest Gallup Poll was 47-48% Democrat and Democrat leaning sample

Brit Hume Special Report | September 23,2003 | Fred Barnes

[Lady In Blue]

I heard Fred Barnes say today on Special Report during the panel discussion that the latest Gallup Poll was done on a weekend and that the sample was 47-48%! I read a day or so ago that it was a weekend poll but I hadn't heard that the sample{Democrat)was that large. Can anybody add to what Fred said or from another source about this poll? Thanks.

Telephone polls are worthless.

How else can they hold up those wires?

That ain't a weird thought. It is a given fact. They are pathetic assassins.

I have been wondering the same thing but the date for them to declare is coming fast. They all attack Bush like it is orchestrated by the Clintons. The only one I can see them having trouble controlling is Dean -- so I figure they will tank him.

It is pretty bad when they start really slanting polls against the President. Have a hunch Pres Bush is going to win in a landslide and the RATs are going to pay for all these attacks while we have our military men and women fighting overseas. Never did think that Hillary Clinton was too attuned politically even though she won NY. She is the Republicans best fundraiser when she donates to an opponent of the Republican.

If Hillary decides to run, the money Republicans will take in to fight the Clintons will be enormous.

Next few months should prove very interesting!

I know you're right,it's just that it was something of a shock for me to see something like that at first. Carl Cameron said this evening that Republicans(White House?)have been saying since April that the President's numbers would go down and that his numbers are within the margin of error.

I have caller ID...if it came up "Polling Co." I'd pick up.

Mostly I get "Out of Area" and lately a new "Private Caller". My wife gives me ugly looks when "private caller" would come up! lol

And if I look up their phone number and area code on the Internet and it's not listed in white and yellow pages, I'm leary.

I did get three or four calls in two weeks from some place in Denver, could have been a polling firm as far as I know. If they don't leave a message I don't care either.

For some reason and I've heard it said before that more Democrats are home on weekends and are more likely to answer their phones when they're home.

[Lady In Blue]

Thanks,Mike! I'll try and remember that when things get a little bumpy!

[Lady In Blue]

hehehehehe!

"These guys are actually assassins,"

No, traitors! This is a time of war and they are aiding our enemy. Republicans are stupid! They don't care about our country.

[Lady In Blue]

".... where as the Dems are at home trying to get their relatives to return the $15.00 they stole, so they pay last June's rent..."

Thanks,woofie for the best laugh I've had all day! I needed that!

[Pubbie]

Ahh - so you noticed the eerie Homo-Eroticism in those pics?

:)

Really appreciate this thread, explaining those outrageous numbers. Let's hope they scare Republicans into registering early....and often!

"I did get three or four calls in two weeks from some place in Denver,"

Colorado Springs has a lot of "800" national services numbers.

[jigsaw]

LOL!

On futher thought, I wish to modify my last statement. Here is my new statement... They are pathetic, godless, countryless, demoRat party worshiping assassins.... There, that is more appropriate.

I was polled once by CNN-USA Today. It was about 8 years ago, and they asked if I approved of Clinton. I was so excited, I answered way more than she wanted, I'm sure. I made sure my vote was solidly in the NO column.

[Semper Paratus]

Heard Bill Schneider on CNN announce the poll and I thought he needed to change his depends on the spot.

[Huck]

Hey Chrissy, can we snuggle after the show?

Sure, Howard. Let's play hardball.

[HIDEK6]

I was polled once.

I told the guy to take a flying leap.
