    There is no evidence to suggest this. You simply think that anything but FOX is bogus. The AP has been around for 150 years and is highly respected nationally and internationally. Give me an example of AP liberal bias.

    Random samples sometimes do that, you know, including Rasmussens. They just asked their affiliations, they did not target Democrats.

    It is not unusual for two polls to differ depending on how the questions are asked. Knee-jerk right-wingers just cannot accept that killing Obama boosted Obama's popularity and are slinging mud. Rasmussen in particular skews its polls by sampling only what they consider "likely voters" not a true sampling of American opinion as does the more highly respected Gallup poll. In fact, they have been highly criticised for conservative bias.

    The evidence is in Morris' column. AP historically polls more Dems. This time was just more biased.


    Used to have indians canoeing Bayou Teche.


    This poll


    Translation: I'll go with the libral poll because it makes Obama look good.

    And the Rasmussen poll I alluded to was in 2008, not 2010.

    i learned a long time ago not to discount polls that give a result different from the others. sometimes that one is dead on, and the results (having been discounted) will bite you in the ass.

    that said, it is too early for any of em to mean anything. a lot can, and will, happen, in the next year and a half.

    Affirming the consequent. Strike one.

    Non Sequitor. Strike two.

    Irrelevant conclusion. Strike three.

    Yer outta here!

    I actually just read an article about that. It's obvious that the people being so critical really know nothing about Common. Biggest non-story ever.
