4. 44% of the AA vote? Did McCain only get 44% of the white over 65 women vote?

Puh-leez. :eyes:

I mean.. maybe that's true if they only interviewed 5 black people, and 2 & 1/2 of them were confused.

7. Margin of error for subgroups tends to be way higher

especially because I suspect that very few African Americans were interviewed in the study. Although looking here it does seem like there is a math mistake in the tables.

8. I know that poll had got to be off

No way Obama pulls only that much. I don't know how they took this poll, but it's way off the mark.

11. 503 "likely voters" - hah. Also I'm guessing it's a typo. Try switching AA and Hispanic

and you'll get what they probably meant.

17. No way...hispanics are overwhelmingly for Obama all across the country

The GOP lily-white fest at the convention tells you all you need to know: they've given up totally on the Latino/Latina vote. The internals must be absolute shit.

18. Yeah, but not 88%

Bill Clinton got 75% of Hispanics and to most of them, he was the PERFECT candidate.

14. Both of these polls Nevada and Ohio AA Vote tallies sounds like a setup for election Fraud

No way in hell, the AA votes are accurate.

24. I wonder how they identify "likely voters"?

If they use Choice Point, it's an indication they've already been scrubbed.

20. They're polling the Diebold machines, of course

The polls are more accurate that way.

The voters don't know who they're voting for, but Walden O'Dell does.

27. I believe Insider Advantage is an internal pollster for the RNC as well.

McCainiacs are trying to depress the Obama grassroots. We can't let that happen.
