Yet More Biased PollsOur buddy Bulldog Pundit
chomps down on the latest CBS-NY Times Poll:
1. Party Leanings - The poll is SLANTED HEAVILY towards Democrats. Even though the voters in the 2004 election were split evenly at 37% between Republicans and Democrats, this poll is 37%(D), 34%(I) and 25%(R). What the hell did the NYT and CBS expect when THE GAP BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS IS 12%? Good debunking. I note that
Rasmussen Polling has Bush at 41% job approval; virtually unchanged from his numbers for the last couple months.
Blue Crab Boulevard
has more, including the fact that although the poll started out skewed Democratic, the pollsters weighted the Democrats' responses more, and reduced the weighting of the Republican responses.
