May 2012

640 Republicans
493 Democrats
507 Indies

so they interviewed more GOP and Indies than Dems--that is out of whack!

Also only 116 blacks & 141 hispanics interviewed compared to 1387 whites.

I doubt that there are more Republicans in FL than Dems.

That seems to be the trend with a lot of these polls since the rethug primary has ended bigdarryl May 2012 #6

The Corporate Media, aided by these biased polls, need to keep this race very close. Liberal_Stalwart71 May 2012 #11
