You want to know why Obama is up so big in the
Pew poll? In their sample, which is not their sample when you add the party affilation, including those who are listed as Independant. When one breaks down the poll they use 38% democrat 32% Republican and 29% independant. I think those numbers are highly inflated on the independant side, this race is no were near a 52-38% for Obama. Is Obama winning probably, but I am amazed at how in the boat the media is with the Dems.
The
NBC/WSJ poll is not much better, probably worse. Who knows what party affilation is? Unless I missed it and I read through it three times, who knows who was surveyed. However, if you look at the age breakdown what a mess. Over 50 is only 46% and under 50 is 54%, with the 30-34 gaining 12% of the total survey. This poll is so scewed towards youth that of course Obama is leading this race by so much. This poll should not be worthy of reporting.
