Sorry Mike, but if this poll were conducted by the very best firm in the world, the MOE for Democrats is 6%, whereas it is 7% for Republicans.

Don't place much credibility in this poll.

How do you figure that?

Look at the number of respondents.

Knowing that you seem to reflexively disagree with just about every thing I way, here is an explanation from another site.  I am also providing the url for your edification.

There is a nice table at the site:

I wasn't reflexively disagreeing with you.  I don't understand how MoE is calculated, and assumed I was missing something less obvious than what I missed.

Thanks for the link.  I've bookmarked it! 

There's a simple way of calculating it: 0.98/square root(n). (n is the sample size.)

Correct.

That's the way I did it, but I gave to Alcon the complete (complex) method along with a citation and table.

Just thought I'd update this, which Alcon forgot.
