Are you a "likely voter"? [ kuro5hin.org ]
Are you a "likely voter"? : article at kuro5hin.org.Some excerpts:
There are a number of interesting problems with how political polling is handled in America — for example, our news sources don’t seem to understand margin of error — but one which has begun rearing its ugly head is a problem with the way voters are sampled: the polls being reported in American mainstream press may be excluding large segments of the population.
The first I heard of this was yesterday’s post on the Electoral Vote Predictor, which mentioned that polling agencies who operate by phone don’t call cellular phones.
=============
Beautiful. There are 169 million phones that they didn't even try. This makes the poll nothing more than a fake and a fraud, a shill and a sham. The big pollster doesn't know what he has. The television and newspaper brilliants put it out like it is a baseball score. Except not one person involved can say that they truly know what they are talking about.
