The problem with Obamacare....

Shows nothing of the kind. Polls ave zero predicibility value.

It has some predictability value to it or else pollsters wouldn't be doing it. It's how politicians stick their fingers to see which way the wind is blowing.

Polls have zero predictibility value. Polls are done for fun and profit. I thought you said you had a research background.

Maybe tell the MSM to stop doing polls/surveys because you always see poll/survey analysts talking about them.

Yes, it has some predictability value. Otherwise the W.H. would be looking at them.

Again, tell that to the MSM and the W.H. that those polls/surveys do not have any predictability value to it.

A snapshot in time. Does not generalize past the exact moment. No predicibility value. MSN will not likely stop posting polls anytime soon. It sells their product. Gives people a false sense of having participated in something that means something.

Don't need to tell them. They are smart enough to realize it already.

That includes Mr. O who will try and do that tonight.

Read the bill. Stop relying on invalid polls and Rush Limbaugh.

 

[kokonut]

Might want to tell that to the W.H. analysts who do rely on polls.


I continue to read the bill as convoluted and mish mashed as it already is.

They don't rely on polls. If they did, they would have given George better advise!

Gotta start at the beginning and work your way through from start to finish. It is only mish-mashed when you try to selectively read portions without reading all of the clarifying information first.
