Stop trying to make “97 percent” happen, MSM. No deal. I was not polled, nor was anyone I know.

The left likes that 97% number a LOT. It must be they opinion polled it and came up with the figure as being the “most persuasive percentage” to use in propaganda.

They used the same figure, 97%, in their global warming ads to describe the number of fake “scientists” supporting their views on AGW.

I’ve never been polled on any issue.
I do not trust “poll” articles. One
could poll 7 people in one family and
come up with something that 70% agree
on. Polls are useless.

One if those ugly facts about statistics is that the minimum number needed to show a “fair” population sample is 18.

The last election results is a good example of skewed statistics.

Personally, I believe the theory of 18 is a flawed theory. Stats based on the theory of 18 can/are/will be cooked. Heck, even long term baseball stats are skewed.
