I believe the poll, I mean lets be real.. If they took a poll of the percentage of voters who wanted to recall Obama, I can bet it'll be higher than 20%, which is what this poll represents.. Its no shocker that 20% of a population would support a recall of a politician.
That is exactly right. The poll can be and probably is bias but the truth is the numbers probably add up. You could also say the same thing about the American Idol winner
So, 272 out of the 806 surveyed would favor recalling Walker, and somehow you and the other libs infer that a recall would be successful? Why?
Pardon me. I made a mistake. 800 people surveyed? That's plenty. Most professional State polling races are in the 400 range.
You and the little bird are way off base....LOL
And to answer your question....polling results are weighted (because of the sample size) to more accurately reflect likely voters. So that's why 272 could be considered a threat.
You have to hand it to Scott Walker -- he's a wingnut true believer, with the charming personality of a rock and absolutely all the political instincts of a dead fish. Because Wisconsin voters are awake now, they know that class war is being waged, and they're not going to sit and take it:
Looks like his arrogance will cost him big-time. A new poll shows that an estimate 1.1 million Wisconsin voters are willing to sign his recall petition, and that of eight Republican state senators.
Yes, elections have consequences. But when you act as if you're the only person whose opinions count, well, the voters have a way of reminding you otherwise.
do you happen to have a more reliable source? I dont believe for a moment that there are 1 million voters in Wisconsin that are willing to sign a recall petition for govenor walker.
i do know it is a lower number for the cowardly senators that ran from doing the job they were elected to do. seems that they should be the ones thnat should be removed from office.
So, you're claiming that 272 favoring recall out of 806 now somehow means a recall effort would be successful in 2012? Why?
No. I'm not claiming that. I claim nothing more than the article implies. It's getting into the possible range....the 50/50 range.."vulnerable" .call it what you like.

The is my last post tonight. I will not say it again. Raw polling numbers are "weighted"....by who the responders say they are? Are they GOP voters, Dem voters, Independents?....This is not a mini election where you just publish the raw results. ..
As I suspected. You know nothing about polling and I'm having to school you on it.
No thanks.
