The polls are biased

Pew suddenly has Romney ahead by four. The polls are biased. The polls and the media.
The polls are telling me things that I don't want to hear. The polls are biased.

We can poll that America is predominantly of the Islam faith... Provided we poll the right people

I dont pay much attention to the polls.

Polls are only as good as the people polled and the guidelines used to poll those people. Most of these polls from the past couple of months showing Obama leading were actually polling 11% more Democrats than Republicans. It's just like the unemployment and inflation numbers. If you don't like the results, change the rules/procedures.

You want to see something really shocking, look into how many people actually determine radio ratings... Talk about slanted polls

Of course they are ... Everytime the polls tell me something I don't want to hear they are "rigged" and "bias" ... (There's been an awful lot of biased polls in the last 4 or 5 years ... It's about time they started getting it right! )

I'd recommend http://www.unskewedpolls.com. Seems to have a good track record of balancing the bias bs.

Couple of questions:
Have you ever responded to a telephone poll?
Did you tell them anything resembling the truth?

Personally I give crazy, non-sensical answers and attempt to contradict myself as frequently as possible.
