POLLING FRAUD: A DU CALL TO ACTION!!!!
Edited on Sat Sep-18-04 02:34 PM by JohnnyCougar
We need an organized media blasting campaign about these fraudulent polls. If Terry McAuliffe and the DNC aren't putting pressure on the media to report the overwhelming Republican bias in their polls, that I guess it's up to us. If they're too scared to cry foul, then we will.

What we need to do is compile demographic evidence of all polls that now systematically oversample Republicans. Then we need to use the media blaster to CONTINUOUSLY BOMBARD the media and the polling organizations until there is an asterisk behind every report of "Bush leading by 10%." It is demoralizing for our side, and it opens the door for electoral fraud in November. We KNOW the Republicans are trying this. Polls will only make their fraud seem like reality.

We need to to this on a DAILY BASIS untill our voice is heard.

Here is my list of polls and their "sample" demographics.

................%Dem....%Rep
Newsweek...31%.....38%
Time...........34%.....38%
CBS/NYY.....32%.....36%
Gallup.........33%.....40%

Election Turnout
2000............39%.....35%
1996............40%.....35%
1992............38%.....35%

CLEARLY these polls do not represent the voting public.

If anyone has the link to the failed Gallup prediction of 2000, post that too. WE SHOULD GET 200 posts for this!! Everybody help out!!

Pew Research shows party registration continuing along this trend: http://people-press.org/commentary/display.php3?AnalysisID=95

Anyone who wants to find out more demographic info, please do, and I'll edit this first post so we have a list.

Here's the link to the media thread.

We got the press to acknowledge the fake PARLOCK story, let's do it with the polls!!

3. Displayed the way you have shown this numbers, you know....
...what it looks like to me? The media are conspiring to fix the November 2 voter turnout numbers to show that Bush wins by a landslide because democrats were too apathetic to show up at the polls and vote. This election is going to be soooo rigged! The Bushevicts are simply laying the groundwork. What do DUers think the voter turnout is going to be on November 2nd?

P.S. I started a thread about polls earlier and the misleading use of weighting. You'll find it here:

4. I think it's going to be the same...40% Dem to 35% Rep
The fact is, 66% of voters think Kerry is going to lose. This means that alot of our side has lost hope. And of course, this makes the BFEE electoral fraud more believable.

6. Will continue my letter writing campaign
Edited on Sat Sep-18-04 02:33 PM by featherman
to major media on this information. Everybody so inclined should do the same os often as possible. The message seems to be getting out i.e. when some media was forced to at least acknowledge the offsetting Pew poll at the same time that Gallup came out. Gotta keep working against deceptive practices. Modern media is lazy and needs stuff handed to them.

15. Can't this work in our favor?
Okay, today I feel like being an optimist. :)

Can't these polls be the kick in the proverbial butt to get Dems to the voting booth? And for the lazy Repub who feels the thing is already their's to win, they'll stay home. This way it's not a close win for Kerry, it's a big win.

16. It would be even better if we can contrast the demographics
Edited on Sat Sep-18-04 06:47 PM by nolajazz
from these big media polls with that of other polls that show the race is still dead heat (e.g., Harris, Rasmussen, Zogby).

17. Zogby weights his polls
by political affiliation, so these kinds of things would never happen. He makes sure that the right ammount of Dems nd Repugs are represented. That's why he is so accurate.

20. where did you get the sample demographics?
I've seen the Gallup demographic breakdown mentioned in Ruy Teixeira's blog, And the Newsweek breakdown on Zogby's site, but where did you get the others? I want to spread this far and wide, but I would like to include links to how the breakdown info was obtained, if possible.
