Huffington reprinting a CBS/New York Times poll. Does it matter who the reporter is, if the poll is correct? 1197 people were polled, and that is the view of the ones sampled.

I think it makes a huge difference in a poll to know where the geographic location was in which the people polled are in. In some cases you can throw party affiliation out the window. For example those polled in the south I think would reflect an entirely different result then say one with people that were polled in the northeast or in California even when their stated political prefence is the same.

Also I am not so sure that you would get announced results from either CBS/NY Times if it were in opposition to what their own liberal views are to begin with. Do they have votes that get thrown out to make it look like they want it to look? Perhaps there was 3,000 people polled to begin with? That said, I am not sure that there are any poll out there that is completely unbiased and unmolested. I suspect tinkering in all of them.

It's just like the Rasmussen poll that I made a thread on. Who knows how accurate any of them are. I am sure you can find another poll out there whose results are the exact opposite of what Rasmussen reports. They are all just like polititians. I personally dont put much stock or trust in any of them.
