CNN ‘Poll’ Showing Double-Digit Post-Speech Bump for Obama Sampled Double the Amount of Dems

CNN: The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted just before and just after the president's speech, with 427 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 5 percentage points. The sample of speech-watchers in this poll was 45 percent Democratic and 18 percent Republican. Our best estimate of the number of Democrats in the voting age population as a whole indicates that the sample is about 8-10 points more Democratic than the population as a whole.

45 percent Democratic and 18 percent Republican. That’s all that needs to be said about how Communist News Network conducts their polls.

At its start, in 1966, Medicare cost $3 billion.

The Democrat-controlled House Ways and Means Committee estimated that Medicare would cost only about $ 12 billion by 1990 (a figure that included an allowance for inflation).

This was a supposedly “conservative” estimate. But in 1990 Medicare actually cost $107 billion. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that Medicare will cost $223 billion by 1997. By 2008 Medicare’s total cost was $454 billion dollars using more than 11 percent of the entire federal budget.

so what?   September 10th, 2009 - 4:12 pm

I’ve included the disclaimer from the CNN article about the poll in quotes below. It appears Breitbart nor the commenters above really understand random polling or the concept of objective journalism. CNN did their job by describing the problems the poll numbers might have. Breitbart isn’t being even a reasonably honest agent when he attempts to make it sound like CNN didn’t present the results objectively. Shame on him.

“The audience for the speech appears to be more Democratic than the U.S. population as a whole. Because of this, the results may favor Obama simply because more Democrats than Republicans tuned into the speech. The poll surveyed the opinions of people who watched Wednesday night’s speech, and does not reflect the views of all Americans.”

Who cares–it’s CNN. Might as well be Obama doing the poll himself. Irrelevant.

checkit   September 10th, 2009 - 5:06 pm

CNN posted the truth! LOL LOL YEA RIGHT! We all know that the STATE RUN MEDIA would pull 20 points up on polls for obama after the PEP Rally, Speech. WE ALL KNOW they are rigging the numbers.

CNN has been caught lying so many times, only the ones that want to hear lies watch it to feed their lowlife beliefs.

CNN President was Caught lying a few months ago, when he told Lou Dobbs to quit talking about obama’s birth certificate, As he told Dobbs there isn’t one becasue it was destroyed for electronic filing, BUT THEN! The day after a hawaii Health worker supposedly read from a supposed certificate that ot was there. So Someone is lying, who do you think?

CNN has been blocked on my TV since they lied and commited treason with Saddam in Iraq to sale out our troops. SO I SEE NO ADVERTISEMENT ON THAT channel nor NBC, or CBS or ABC. And so does my entire family and relatives, we ALL know they are the STATE RUN MEDIA and report what they want you to believe, they do not do honest reporting, so why watch them?

Vince-from-Scamwow   September 10th, 2009 - 5:20 pm

And I helped to conduct that poll. I am very pro-Obama and with the way I phrased my questions, not only did I sell a “more absorbent” paper towel and an ordinary cheese grater for $19.95, but I convinced everyone that Obama was not lying.
Even I could sell capitalism to a liberal….well, maybe not.

Personally i don’t know why conservetives are pooled. They are mostly just a bunch of hillbillies dating their

If you read IceCream Rover’s last statement, you will see that the days of substantive liberalism, like the days of responsible journalism, are dead and gone. For someone who claims to be educated, that post sure was absent of any original thought but contained plenty of tired old stereotypical claptrap.

Typical left wing arrogance assumes you have to have alot of letters behing your name, including the letter ‘D’ to be educated. Everybody else is stupid, yet they have always claimed to represent “the little guy.” Well those days are over as well. America is waking up and will not have your BS anymore. We will not be silent, and will not sit down when you employ intimidation, stereotypes, name-calling, personal insults, or PC crap anymore. So all libs can suck it.

You want to debate substance and fact? Let me quote a Clint Eastwood movie: “Go ahead, make my day.” Otherwise, I will quote another: “Shut your face, hippie.”

Eric   September 10th, 2009 - 9:35 pm

No, not all libs can suck it. Liberals who don’t hate this country are welcome in the American debate. Just the un-thinking useful idiots for the Obama Administration can suck it. My apologies.

Obamunists in the Whitehouse   September 10th, 2009 - 11:46 pm

Many of the people working with President Obama are Marxists or socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party, according to a socialist Columbia University professor with strong ties to Obama’s radical associates, including Weathermen terrorist Bill Ayers.

“What makes Obama different is that he has also been a community organizer. He has read left literature, including my works, and he understands what socialism is,” wrote Manning Marable, professor and founding director of the Institute for Research in A f r i c a n American Studies at Columbia University.

“A lot of the people working with him are, indeed, socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party or as independent Marxists,” Marable wrote in a December 2008 piece published in the Socialist Review.

In the article, Marable contends “Obama is not a Marxist or a socialist – he is a progressive liberal.”

Whatwhatwhat   September 11th, 2009 - 12:21 am

Nice try Breitbart but only the stupid and uneducated falls for that. The population sampled can’t be true unless it reflects the identity of the population at large. There are more Democrats and Democrat-leaning Indpendents than Rethugs. A 50/50 mix of Democrats and Rethugs would NOT be accurate and you know it!!!

Larse   September 11th, 2009 - 4:44 am

Whatwhatwhat is correct. The numbers do fall within the reasonable sampling errors and estimates of the population who watched the speech. But as always with any pole, wait and make sure it verifies with other poles too. The sampling error is within 5%, 95% of the time. That means 1 in 20 of these poles with be useless. Of course, if the other poles get the same results, then it is true.

Neither Larse nor Whatx3 is correct.
How do you match the 45% Dem and the 18 repub when the election showed only a 5-6% spread and that was running our worst candidate?
No, CNN knows where to troll/sample and find dim-witted democrats who will rubberstamp anything Obama sh**ts out of his mouth. You know the type: “well France has government healthcare, how come we don’t?” and “Obama gonna pay my bills and my mortgage, why don’t he pay my healthcare, too?” and of course the most stupid of all comments “Government healthcare is going to bring competition to the market!”

Tamika   September 11th, 2009 - 12:14 pm

I knew my PRESIDENT OBAMA would bring up his poll numbers. Repukes tried to bring him down but he’s strong
and he doesn’t take no crap of any repuke. Double them digits and keep on doubling. Double down PRESIDENT OBAMA
and show those repukes you’re the best PRESIDENT in our nation’s history.

kbfedup   September 11th, 2009 - 2:18 pm

I thought it interesting, during Oh Worldly One’s Congressional speech, to flip around to the different networks and see what kind of shots the cameramen were making. I found that when all his followers were fawning & clapping and, of course Pelosi was doing her usual Jack-in-the-box skit, the cameramen of CNN, ABC, NBC & CBS ONLY took shots of JUST the Democrats, which were all standing and smiling and clapping like crazy!!! While FOX cameramen included shots of the Republicans…where not a one was clapping, standing and for sure not smiling!
Anybody else notice that??? Seems FOX again wants to show us the whole picture and not just Obooboo’s adoring servants.

Larse   September 11th, 2009 - 2:49 pm

@H2K

The pole was of people who “actually watched the speech”, not the total average population of the country. Apparently, Democrats watched the speech in large numbers while the Republicans chose to watch that reality thing on FOX.

Imagine in next election that all good Republicans protest Obama by not going to the poles and not voting. Obama than gets 100% of the vote even though there might really be 10% of the total population that really is Republican. If you don’t participate and vote, you don’t matter…

Republicans chose to turn off Obama, and then they whine that the remaining Democrat viewers really liked the speech. Well Boo hoo…

Eric Robinson   September 11th, 2009 - 11:24 pm

Hey, when a hooker tells a John that she loves him, he believes it, right up to the moment he sobers up, and looks in his wallet. Besides, if they called Democrats/Liberals, THEY would believe Obama if he told them he was the Easter Bunny. Liberalism is a political philosophy based on what you wish were true, not what history or facts prove is true. Obama is a perfect liar, and most of the mainstream media are in the tank for him. As soon as Americans have time to compare what he says with what they know to be true, he’s toast.
