| Description | Once again the big headline and story in the Washington Post concerns their new poll allegedly showing President Bush and his policies are as popular as malaria.
Just how bad is it? Take a look at the specific poll data.
Before we get to deep into it, take note that it's got a 7 point advantage for Democrats over Republicans, and there are 4% more respondents who are "Independent" than Republican. The breakdown in the Post poll is 35% Democrat - 32% Independent - 28% Republican and 5% "Other". Interesting numbers given that the 2004 elections, party ID was evenly split at 37% each. That means overall, Republicans were undersampled (in terms of people who actually vote) by 9%.
OK, let's run down the usual stuff about just how ridiculously bad this poll really is. |
