28. Market Research caller is BS ( he said they over polled women)
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 09:07 AM by The Flaming Red Head
Market Research caller is BS ( he said they over polled women) would these be the so-called Security Moms?


If you had waited in line three to five hours at a precinct to cast your vote would you stay on and participate in a survey, NO.

And Dems are more likely to be working class non-salaried individuals which would mean that they had to get back to work to get on the clock.

I did marketing research interviews for over 20 years and have done many random participation intercepts; and the Dems (in this case) would have been the hardest group to get adequate participation from, especially the women because they have so many responsibilities, and after waiting in those lines, you know they had to get home to the kids, or back to work, or both.


And then the Republicans, also say that the so-called security Moms are the ones who swung the vote to Bush, according to part of the exit data (which part?) which would make his comment about over sampling of women and that swinging the data to Kerry, Moot.

You know you can't have it both ways, either the data gathered, was good or it wasn't, you can't pick and choose which numbers suit your purpose at the moment.

(I know I posted part of this on Gen dis poli board, but I didn't know the conversation had moved here. Sorry if you already read part of this)
