Polls Are Bullshit
"Bush Leads Kerry by 8 Percentage Points in Pew Poll" "A poll taken by the Washington Post newspaper and the American ABC network finds 51 percent of people planning to vote for Bush, with just 44 percent supporting Kerry."
Polls are bullshit for the following reasons:
1. They don't poll black males almost at all.
2. Old people LOVE to talk to random strangers on the phone.
3. People with half a brain don't give a shit about talking to strangers on the phone.
4. There are these new things called cell phones that aren't listed in the phone book. I, and a lot of other people I know, don't have land lines.
5. The margin of error. In a poll with a +/-4 margin of error, a 48 percent to 40 percent poll is really statistically insignificant.
6. That's all they talk about on the cable news channels, nevermind the issues.
7. Gallup, Zogby and Pew are all Nazis.*
8. THIS JUST IN: American voters are stupid. Here are the results of another poll, one in which people were asked which candidate supports various issues.
