That survey is not one I'd trust, at all.

Phone surveys are rarely reliable.

Which way were the phone calls made?

After all, FOXNews (GOP-TV) claims to offer reliable political polls, but in fact, their so-called "Opinion Dynamic Poll" asks viewers to call them and vote.

This is inherently flawed because the majority of FOXNews viewers are conservative Republicans, so the bulk of the people responding will be pro-Bush and right-wing.

Um you do realize that virtually all scientific polling in the United States done by Gallup, CNN, USA Today, Zogby, etc. are done by telephone in sufficient numbers to produce a margin of error of 3 to 5%? What manner of polling would you consider reliable?

Having gone through a scientific curriculum at school, and studied statistics, I can tell you that the main factor is whether the sample is random from the point of view of the entire population being estimated. When it is, and when the questions do not suggest an answer, for huge populations, it does not take many data points to produce a result which mimics closely what you would get by asking everyone in the entire population.

It's fascinating to me that the Bush loyalists don't trust Gallup, CNN, USA Today, Zogby and Pew, but they blindly throw out their disbelief when it comes to the FOXNews (GOP-TV) Opinion Poll.

Go figure? LOL!!!

Don't fret about it Bi-Polar...

The vote is a few months off... let us be calm and allow the
present inhabitants to kill off the cockroaches, polish the brass, and clean up most of Iraq...
November will be soon enough for Kerry to be 53%
