Reuters poll over-samples Democrats by 9 percent, finds 7-point Obama edge
“...a January Gallup poll found that Democrats outnumber Republicans in the United States by only 4 percent...
...the Americans polled by Reuters were 47 percent Democrats, 38 percent Republicans and 15 percent independents - a nine-point difference in favor of voters likely to support President Obama’s re-election effort.,...”
AND see my post 8, with link to the actual Ipsos site, which states that the poll was of ADULTS, not even of registered voters.
Obama must be in real trouble, if they have to poll adults AND oversample Dems to make it look as if he were ahead.
Amazing what one can do with a desired result in search of a poll. I`m going to conduct a poll of 100 likely voters, sampling 44% Constitution Party members, 33% Republicans and 23% Democrats. Results will show USCP candidate Virgil Goode leads with 44%, followed by Romney`s 33%. Obama will bring up the rear with 23%. And I`m going to trumpet it in the “media.”
As with Reuters.. my poll, my results!
