California Polling

[djsperduti]

Does anyone know if the LA Times is going to come out with another
poll before the election next week? The hyped-up CNN poll today needs to be beaten down with a stick, since it seems very skewed and only under 800 people were polled. WTF???

1. Oh yes...

There will be what are called 'tracker polls' run practically every day all day long up to and including Oct 7th, exit polls and the day after. Pollsters are loving this shit therefore:

Which was much of what the CNN/Gallup poll was all about sampling primarily Republicans who as we know are more vocal about stuffing polls with superfluous data.

2. Right you are, Salmonhorse...

when that same poll shows that ultraconservative McClintock WON the debate and has approvals at 60%+, you KNOW they aren't talkin' to the CA Dems!

7. That poll was SO far from all the other recent polls

that show the Democrats gaining significant ground that it's automatically suspicious.

The message, boys and girls? The Republicans are winning in a landslide so, Mr. and Ms. Democrat, don't even bother reporting to your precinct because it's a done deal. :eyes:
