Galluping To The Polls
Aren’t polls fun? The nuances are astoundingly…well…eclectic. I believed a poll one time. It “caused me” to cast my very first presidential election ever in my life for Jimmah Cahtah. Since that time (almost 2 years into his presidency) I have learned to laugh at polls. Someone I respect that does follow the polls said that they have evolved from those days of yore and are now more scientific.
Whatever.
I’ll stick to my original adage and watch the candidates and their poll-scramblers blow with the wind. The one that blows the least in a category 96 hurricane is the one I will vote for. Someone that changes stances according to how the winds blow is more brain-dead than the idiots that vote for the idiots blowing with the wind.
Whatever happened to personal integrity in this country?
PRINCETON, NJ — With no incumbent president or vice president running for the 2008 presidential nominations, it is perhaps not surprising that both of the major parties have competitive races, with multiple candidates jockeying for second, if not first, place. Still, the current outlines of voter preferences in the Republican and Democratic nomination battles are remarkably similar.
According to the latest USA Today/Gallup poll of national adults, conducted June 11-14, 2007, each race is characterized by a front-runner attracting about 30% of the potential primary vote nationwide, followed by two candidates garnering about 20% support each in a close contest for second place, and a slew of weaker candidates, each supported by no more than 11%.
Continuing the parallels, the race for second place in both parties features one announced candidate who has earned fairly steady support throughout the year (mostly failing to build momentum) and one unannounced candidate with growing support, just recently pulling into a tie for second.
THE POLLS ARE COMING! THE POLLS ARE COMING! THE POLLS ARE COMING!
THE POLLS ARE COMING! THE POLLS ARE COMING! THE POLLS ARE COMING!
THE POLLS ARE COMING! THE POLLS ARE COMING! THE POLLS ARE COMING!
THE POLLS ARE COMING! THE POLLS ARE COMING! THE POLLS ARE COMING!
I particularly like the phrase “national adults”. What is a “national adult”? Is that as opposed to an “international adult”? And what would be the difference?
That’s OK. Believe the polls if you like. I just find it “odd” that when the polls are in the favor of the Leftinistra, the polls are God’s gift to the Universe. When the polls are NOT in favor of the Leftinistra, the polls are skewed. What say ye? Feel free. I don’t bite much. Lost some of my teeth in Tajikistan a while back.
