How the F can you poll 534 people

[margotb822]

to estimate how all women in America feel? (http://news.yahoo.com/story//politico/20080922/pl_politico/13714)

But, the biggest thing that makes no sense is how Palin could be conceived to be a better legislator for women than Biden. Hmm, let's look:

Palin: Charges women for rape kits
Biden: Sponsors Violence Against Women Act

Questions??

1. Statistics. You can control to make them reflect the general population.

It's actually possible if you watch marital status, age and partisan breakdown.

Really. It's statistics.

3. I know, but

I wonder how well they're controlling. It seems suspect to me.

[Zynx]

5. Indeed. There is little difference between a poll of 1,000 people and 2,000.

[whistle]

6. Margin of error ends up being about +/- 15%

[dmallind]

10. Don't think so

Sample of 534 maxes out at 4.24%

2. i reckon they could poll cows or pigs for that matter :):)

8. You're so sexist!!

You just called all women pigs and cows!!

:sarcasm:

11. no i'm just an old lady - i don't like sex anymore :):)

13. I do know they poll Herefords

[CoffeeCat]

4. Kellyanne Conway?????

Kellyanne Conway conducted this poll?

:rofl:

Kellyanne Conway is a viscious, Republican hack. She is one of the worst.

Geez, they just can't stop with their smoke and mirrors can they? They send out
their most rabid cheerleaders--and tell them that they're in charge of a poll (wink, wink).

I mean really. This is insulting.

This is WORSE than asking Hannity or Limbaugh to conduct a political poll.

She's awful.

And also...she's been on Olberman's "Worse Person" segments, more than once.

7. Easy. Make sure they're all men.

:rofl:

[sandnsea]

9. That isn't on a T-Shirt yet n/t

[still_one]

12. They don't even link to the actual poll, plus it is an outdated poll

in addition to be wrong

[margotb822]

14. Yea, I noticed that too

It was before the reality of last week set in. Of course, it's the AP, so it's to be expected...
