HAHAHAHAHA

Thanks for the evening laugh, Vorlon.    I can go to bed on a positive note now.

I had nightmares last night while I was sleeping.  Images of Zogby online polls were chasing me down the street, trying to get me to choose a side.  I kept screaming "I'm independent, I'm independent," but they wouldn't listen.  Fortunately I stumbled down the alley belonging to the LA Times polls, where Zogby and the LA Times began to fight over polling turf.  I was able to slip away.

WHEW!  Last time I go to bed like that.  hehehe . . . maybe I should turn on HGTV or something before going to sleep.    Dahlia's and Salvia's would never attack me in such a fashion.  hahaha

Same reason why Rasmussen polls fluctuate on a daily basis.  It all depends on who is the person polled.  I could randomly choose 90% of a polling population who believes in life on Mars if I got lucky enough.

There is no science behind polling (sorry Vorlon).  It's merely a matter of random sampling, and therefore, your results will vary each time.  All the pollster can do is ask the right questions to obtain a fair assessment of the "pulse" of the population.


(And yes, I will always laugh at Zogby, even if by some miracle he changes his methodology to become more like Mason Dixon.)

WRONG

Sorry Shira, but even coming from my Engineering background, where we had to do data polling and probability analysis, there is less science and more "luck/chance" behind polling.  Like I said, I could do a poll and come up with 90% of the population believing there is life on Mars, and that would be by random sampling.  The next day, it could only be 5%.
