Can't wait for tomorrow night.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Shouldn't It Be 49-47 Or Did I Miss Something...

[unfrigginreal]

3. I don't know how they arrived at the total, the same thing happened

with one of their previous polls where it appeared to be 1 point off from the details. Maybe due to fractions.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. I read in polls you are not supposed to round off to tenths...

I think there's a discussion of it at www.ncpp.org


The reason you shouldn't round off to tenths is because you are implying you can reach a mathematical certainty that doesn't really exist...

5. In That Poll It Gives The Dems A Smaller Vote% Advantage Than Other

Weighted Polls


Dems and Dem Leaner 49%



Reps and Rep Leans 46%
