RUSH: Don't Let Polls Fool You

"As for the polling, you know me, I'm distrustful of them. I'll tell you what I have to fight, and I'll be very honest with you. When a poll is really, really out of whack with what I want to happen, I do have a tendency to disregard it. And I have to fight that, being very honest -- especially, I don't believe a poll that shows Obama up seven or eight with a plus 13 Democrat sample. So I just throw it out. Other polls I have had a tendency, if they don't reflect what I sense is going on or what I hope is going on, I disregard them. And that's not good. I have to fight that all the time. But even with all that, I still think these polls, right now, both pro and con, are more oriented toward pushing agendas than measuring voters. And I don't know how accurate they are at measuring voters anymore. I hear these pollsters talk about they only make land line calls and fewer and fewer people are using land lines. I look at the samples that these people are using, and sometimes it's not even likely voters, it's registered voters. And I think all it does is contribute to a roller coaster, emotional roller coaster that isn't healthy. Emotional roller coasters tend to emphasize the lows, tend to be more affected by the low, by the dip in an emotional roller coaster than when you are at the peak. And I think that's all part of the game to suppress our turnout and to suppress our vote." 26 Sep 2012 post a comment
