[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] No, I'm suggesting that many of these polls are slanted in such a way as to further the agenda/opinion of those doing the polling nad are in no way objective. For instance, if they polled the same cross-section of americans during the daytime weekday and during the daytime weekend, the results would vary wildly (as one may represent the unemployed more than the other). There's far too many variables to say that a sampling represents a country of millions....unless they polled hundreds of thousands of people from all age, race, economic and geographic niches- and I [i]really[/i] dont think this poll did that, do you?). If such polling is accurate, how can there be polls showing that almost 70% of americans oppose the Patriot Act (I've seen Moveon.org polls showing that one (surely slanted to their own viewpoint).? The polls cant be really used as accurate unless all those doing the polling are asking thir questions of the same number of people, from the same diversity. A poll in rural georgia will, of course, yield a far diffrent result than one done in downtown San Fransisco. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
