Busted!: Gallup, CBS, USA.Today, etc. Tinkers With Party ID Again

Excellent.

1. Yes...let's scream this from the rooftops before our citizenry takes to commiting suicide en masse.

THEY ARE FUCKING LYING AGAIN!!!!

[jefferson_dem]

2. Well Well Well...

So CBS and Gallup include an equal number of Repugs and Dems, huh. And they didn't weight the results? FAIL. Dems have a 10 point lead (at least) in PiD.

[high density]

3. Well I guess Obama's win on Nov 4 can be a surprise

That's fine with me; that's the poll that matters.

[dmr]

31. Or the the steal more believable n/t

[yourguide]

4. I suspected as much, I noticed gallup

changing their september sample to add more republicans as well...I didnt have access to those cross tabs.

Kudos to the poster!

[WeDidIt]

5. That's pretty much what I thought was going on.

The pollsters and media have a vested interest in the horse race crap.

18. Sure brought a lot of

handwringers outta the woodwork on Sunday..Jeeze.

6. Best news I've read in days! n/t

[TexasLawyer]

7. A big kick-- for an extremely informative article

[Willo]

8. Thank you.

Distribution has begun.

Printing copies of both tomorrow.

9. No surprise

I stated in posts earlier today that I didn't believe the polls. The media needs a story. If Obama takes the lead and keeps it the whole way, then there's not much suspense for the media to talk about endlessly.

10. The GOP bounce is temporary and short

convention bounces are temporary. They dissipate in a matter of days or a couple of weeks. It's history, not speculation.

[quakerboy]

27. Theres not even a GOP Bounce

Reading the article, its not a convention bounce that changed the polls. It was a change in polling. Poll 10% more Republicans, and of course you are going to get a higher number for McCain.

[KathieG]

11. I knew it

This is great news for those who were worried! :thumbsup:

[BumRushDaShow]

12. They finally admitted it!

K&R

:kick:

[phrigndumass]

13. Kickin ...

and rec'in

[President_Obama]

14. they're fluffing McCain to make people think he has a chance

could someone recalculate the results using July's Party ID numbers?

[Beetwasher]

15. Yoo Hoo! Paging The Gallup APOLOGISTS/Defenders On This Board

[bevoette]

16. bump!

17. And, Obama said this today.. from another thread of yours, Pro..

"I just think that the notion that people are swinging back and forth in the span of a few weeks, or a few days, this wildly, generally isn't borne out," Obama told reporters here."

22. Thank you SO much!!

19. So calm down everyone

the moment of truth will be on Nov. 4th and ONLY Nov. 4th.

Unless we end up going to the supreme court again. Ugh...

[Demi_Babe]

21. thank you thank you thank you

[debbierlus]

23. I believe this is true, BUT it does give them cover for a STOLEN election

It would be much harder, if the polls showed big leads for Obama, and then, McCain won.

With the election fraud factor, and we all know at this point it is real and dangerous, we need to speak out loudly on this issue.

[DCofVA]

24. I was never worried, I knew the polls were screwed up

[Imagevision]

25. Turd Blossom didn't waste any time

[quakerboy]

26. K and Fuckin R

that irritates me.

[senseandsensibility]

28. kick

:kick:

[ladywnch]

29. there are several things we need to be worried about with this

1) that people will start to believe that Barack doesn't stand a chance and have them not show up to vote. McCain voters will think he stands a chance and turn out more than the would have.



2) that when they try to cook the elections in swing states they can point to the polls to justify the fix numbers.

We need to get this info to KO, Rachel, Tweety NYT, WSJ and anyone else we can think of....this has to be made WIDELY public.
