Most people don't pay enough attention to know what bills are really about, and only know what they hear at the coffee shop or a friend.

There was no data or breakdown given of who those 1,000 people were. MOST polls tell you the background of those polled (i.e. gender, education, registered R or D, etc.) This poll gave none of that data that I could find. And if they did release it, I'm betting you'd find it weighted in favor of those who prefer unions to those who do not.

He along with the House and Senate are carrying out an action that is reflective of their ideology. It shouldn't be shocking to anyone. The people will have a chance to replace them next election. Until such time I ask the Republican Governor to set an agenda that's conservative in nature no matter what public opinion polls say because the voters that voted for him are expecting him to do so.

The only polls I've seen that show the sampling by party are ABCNews/WaPo, and Rasmussen. I'm not even sure ABC/WaPo even shows it anymore, after they got busted twice in a row drastically oversampling democrats on Bam's approval polls last year.Writerbuckeye;705407 wrote:They never break down how many respondents identify as Republican, Democrat or independent. That's a critical piece to how the poll is weighted and will directly affect the outcome. I've seen too many of these, when the real data comes out, that were very definitely weighted in one direction or the other.
If you're confident in your results, then give us the actual numbers, don't just tell us it's a representative sampling. I'm not going to believe it.

No bargaining? Oh you mean no anonymous union thugs making wage deals for intelligent folks who can bargain for themselves.stlouiedipalma;730816 wrote:I'll come back to this topic after the voters have had their say on SB5.
