Freeper comment about Cruz's poll numbers speaks volumes

[JBoy]

Responding to this from a news article:

The senator's poll numbers have taken a hit amid the shutdown fight. A Gallup survey released Thursday showed that 26 percent have a favorable view of Cruz, while 36 percent see him unfavorably.

Random Freeper replies with:

His poll numbers among the people I talk to are 100%, I don’t know who gallup is polling.

6. A friend on Facebook is a moderate Republican. She commented to me once that she has never been

called to take part in a poll so she doesnt believe they reflect people like her.

I've actually heard people on DU say similar things. I pointed her to the wiki page for stratified sampling. If you are unfamiliar with polling, its something you should check out. Most big polling organizations use a form of stratified sampling. Its the best way to ensure you have as many of the main different parts of the population you are researching accounted for and addressed in your poll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_sampling

8. Let them stay in the echo chamber

where they are still baffled about Romney's loss.

9. ""How could Nixon have won? Nobody I know voted for him." -- attributed to Pauline Kael

Though she actually said, "I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them."

We all live in our own bubbles.

10. I edited it for accuracy:

"His poll numbers among the people I talk to who visit me in Mom's basement are 100%."

[kydo]

16. I think you still got it wrong that sentence should have been

"His poll numbers among the people I talk to voices who visit talk to me in Mom's basement are 100%."

[jsr]

11. 100% among him and his blowup doll.

[Blue Idaho]

12. Please god - Let them all be this stupid.

[sad-cafe]

15. it will be a beautiful thing

[distantearlywarning]

13. Yeah, that about sums it up for Freeperville, LOL!

In other news, Freeperville residents shocked by Romney loss! "How could this happen? Everyone I knew said he was going to win!", stated Derp McDerpmeister, a long-time denizen of Free Republic.

17. Comment #2 proves they are isolated from the real world.

I always knew they lived in a seperate parallel universe, now we have proof.
