No I'm not. I said I am going to wait until the election. Not some baseless poll based on 1,000 people (which not to mention is inadequate because it fails to mention where it was done).

I don't particularly like polls either... but when ALL of them say the same thing, they are usually right.

It mentions the error margin (3%) which is calculated after a number of variables, including but not limited to geographic location, so I guess it is pretty accurate.

Come on Fez, your more intelligent than that. I think.

You get a damn grip. It is not reputable at all because it fails to mention where it was done, how many democrats were in the poll, etc.

Oh come on Fez. It's not like they are going to even announce it.
But it's from a reputable source, unliek Faux. Plus, all the polls are showing the same trend. They can't all be wrong.

Why should it be done in one city? It may very well be done on the phone, across the whole US.

As I said, the whole "margin of error" variable is something calculated after a number of variables that define the suality of the sample: size of the sample, geographic location, age, gender, social belonging, political belonging (if known) etc. The aim is that the questionees are representative of the targeted population at large.

Unless the pollers are unprofessional and decide to calculate their margin of error only based on sample's size (which is unlikely), it merely means that all the above variables have been checked and the sampled has been deemed satisfyingly representative of the American population.

I like to see who they called. I mean not exact names and address, lol. But I'd like to see how many republicans, democrats and independents they polled. That's why I do not take polls from a grain of salt.

Sorry Fezzie, but America has already seen what Bush is doing....He's undermining the only thing that keeps America safe now: It's status as sole superpower.
Do you really think they'll give that up just to keep Kerry from getting into office?

You can't beat me in this topic as you are a communists. It is against the laws of the universe for that to happen. Can't even defeat insurgents in a small nation? Okay you have 5,000 insurgents. All scattered about in cells. How is it possible to defeat them all without launching a long term operation? You are such a fool.
