true_blue_bill Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 This one not so much: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/PollVault/s...=2629600&page=1 This one rather significantly! http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=295 Imagine if....
KD in CA Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I won't beleive any poll numbers unless they come straight from RCow.
/dev/null Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 don't think the race has narrowed as much as the media is reporting. they're hyping it to boost election nite ratings
Chilly Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Pew = way, way more trustworthy then the ABC News/Wash Times polls. Anyway, natl polls mean squat
Chilly Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 don't think the race has narrowed as much as the media is reporting. they're hyping it to boost election nite ratings 826135[/snapback] Um, Pew = independent (and very good) research, not the media. The media's poll (abc news) showed it was getting wider. This kind of undermines your whole argument.

Don't get me wrong, they want it to happen, I agree with you. I just found it funny that you mentioned that in a post that showed the opposite. I got a chuckle this morning when George Snuffelufegus had Charlie Gibson showing off their spiffy new set. 826145[/snapback] The news media likes to give viewers the feeling of intimacy, that people know how the news is really made. Its a great trick to make people feel that they know how the news is made and that there is transparency in the news media when there isn't.
Joey Balls Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I won't beleive any poll numbers unless they come straight from RCow. 826132[/snapback] I never heard of that polling firm, and what an unusual name for such a venture. Must be based in the mid-west or sumthin'. What did the RCow polling firm say about the 2004 election? There seems to be so many of these firms nowadays. Some folks swear by Zogby but I don't trust any of them. Didn't most of them pick Kerry? As I said before I expect the Republicans to hold on to both the house and the senate....but the House might go either way. Nothing I've seen since has swayed me. Though it would be a good thing if the Mighty Macaca goes down.

/dev/null Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 but the House might go either way 826220[/snapback] if the House goes either way it brings new meaning to bipartisan
Joey Balls Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 if the House goes either way it brings new meaning to bipartisan 826227[/snapback] Ha! ! Still it will be interesting in the off chance the Dems do win. For some reason I see them as coming off as earnest and eager to start, then later shed their skin and look for recrimination. Hope I'm wrong. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2...4520.shtml?s=lh
