Obama's Economic Approval Just 36 Percent

Go post some links illustrating your claims.

Then explain how you know that the final numbers are not corrected for the discrepancy in party ID. Perhaps you could call the polling company, interview them for an answer to that question, then report back to us. Or you could just assume that you know what they're doing. Your call . . . . .

Exit polls. Go look em up. Rasmussen and Gallup do party affiliation polls every month as well. Im not spending more than 10 seconds looking up how CBS and the NYT post biased polls, we both know they are.
 
RD, Im going to offer up something that is statistically relevant regarding NYT/CBS polling data: they undersample republicans in every single poll they have ever taken; by 4% plus.

If you go and look at their voter identification they will probably have republicans at 29% or less, they usually do. Yet party id is coming up at 33% to 38% depending on the poll and the pollster. So why do the New York Times and CBS polls need to have their thumb on the scale and underepresent Obama's political opposition and consequently, their frequent political opposition?

Go look at their cross tabs. It paints the real picture.

Is it my dialect? Perhaps I'm not speaking the same language? Am I need of some type of translator device?

Or is intentionally posting gibberish a debate tactic that I am unfamiliar with? And if so, is it often successful?

And if so, on what planet?
