Interesting AP info: skewed poll

The AP/GpK Roper poll that had Obama up by 7 is under question. Apparently the pool was 40-29 skewed toward Dems. Under such a skewing, the result is not a surprise.

Re: Interesting AP info: skewed poll

  • I googled around.  (Man, I need to get a life and get off this computer!)  This was the source I found citing Julie's data.  I don't obviously know if that's where she actually got her info.

  • Those numbers are admittedly skewed, but what's weird are the Liberal vs. Conservative responses.  I'm confused as to why they don't match up, but maybe this was the standard used?

                                          Likely Voters     Total Respondents
    Democrat ? strong                  21                        19
    Democrat ? moderate              19                        19
    Republican ? strong                 13                        11
    Republican ? moderate              16                      14
    Independent ? lean Democratic  10                       11
    VOL] Independent ? don?t lean    4                         5
    Independent ? lean Republican  11                        10
    None ? lean Democratic             1                          2
    VOL] None ? don?t lean              2                          5

    Generally speaking, do you consider yourself a liberal, moderate, or conservative?
    ?Liberal,? ASK: Would you say you are strongly or somewhat liberal?
    ?Conservative,? ASK: Would you say you are strongly or somewhat

    Liberal - strongly            10                            9
    Liberal - somewhat          11                         12
    Conservative - strongly    24                          21
    Conservative - somewhat 14                          17
    Moderate ?                     39                          37
    Don?t know                      2                            3
