Polls are not credible! If they were, wouldn't we all be asked?
A profoundly ignorant statement; you clearly have no understanding of statistics. A poll of 1,000 people has a margin of error of about 3%. The television and radio industries use random polls as their guide: Neilsen and Arbitron ratings, respectively.
Here's a nice visual aid to illustrate how many different random polls taken on the same subject will yield similar results:
You are gullible, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you jack, lets break down this poll shall we, first lets get this straight: Polls are not credible, if they were indeed credible they would not have margins of error. By admitting that they are not scientific and/or can indeed be statistically wrong.
Also, the source of the data plays in most of all. This poll chart you posted was compiled by...A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. A WEBSITE THAT IS AFFILIATED WITH THE DEMOCRATS! THEREFORE IT IS NOT CREDIBLE!!!
Look at the links the page provided! It's partisan! You can't tell me that the polls are credible because this polkatz site posted it.
And look at the name of the person that compiled it...Stuart Thiel.
Hmm, notice that he is anti Bush?
Don't be so fucking gullible! WAKE UP!
POLLS ARE NOT CREDIBLE!
God Damn you people are ridiculous that you allow yourselves to be lied to not only by the media and you don't know anything about whats going on! You never thought to look at the author or the source of what you consider "fact"? Do I believe everything a conservative says hook, line and sinker? No of course not, but that's because I use my head, I don't believe everything I hear unless I can believe the source. Do you think everything a dem says is gospel? You're nuts!!!
WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! [/quote]
Congratulations! This is easily the <b>stupidest</b> thing I've ever seen posted on this board, and considering 460 and Hottie both have thousands of posts to their name, that's no small feat...
