Rave please. This is important.

Sunday, July 22, 2012

Most military veterans don’t like the job President Obama is doing and prefer Mitt Romney in November’s election.

New Rasmussen Reports polling finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters who have served in the military favor the Republican challenger, while 35% support the president. Five percent (5%) of these voters like some other candidate in the race, but only two percent (2%) are undecided.

    It's the damn truth. I don't have many friends on this site, maybe two that are democrats, all but a couple asked me to be their friend. They did it mainly (I'm sure of it) because of my total distain for Obama. Now in steps Romney, with his run for the Whitehouse, and hardly a one will talk to me because I don't support him. I try and point out the facts that Romney is no different than Obama, and they call me a traitor. I am convinced the "R" and the "D" is all that concerns them. Romney is the king of consolidation, he spent his entire adult life forming big businesses to wipe out the "little man". He is a collectivist, a globalist and an enemy of individual sovereignty. Home Depot alone wiped out more Mom & Pops in this country than one can imagine. Sole Proprietors, Small Businesses and the Middle Class have no chance against cheap foreign products and consolidating firms.

    I was surprised how many in the military voted for him the first time. I hope those that did have changed their mind by now!!

    A lot of military votes weren't counted. Same old crap the Dems do every election with the military. Absentee ballots end up lost, misplaced, late, destroyed... etc.

    How can any self respecting conservative support a "draft dodger with out a clue" over a "veteran with a solid plan"? You make no sense whatsoever.

    574 people? That's like pouring a shot glass full of water in an empty bathtub and saying it overflowed.

    The number of people polled just gives the margin of error. With 574 people you will get a margin of error of some where around + or - 4. Therefore, Romney would be between 55 and 63. It is basic statistics.

    Of course, the sample must be random.

    "New Rasmussen Reports polling finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters who have served in the military favor the Republican challenger"

    If 574 is 59% of the voters who served, I'd say Romney is about 17 million votes short. Back as far as WWII of course.

    574 represents the size of the sample of the populus. The higher the sample size the less the margin of error will be. A sample size of about 2500 will give you a margin of error of + or - 3.

    574 people do not represent 59% of likely voters who have served. What it means is roughly 350 people choose the "R" instead of the "D". Mere peanuts.

    I know you're going to come back at me with "We're talking about JUST this poll" or something to that effect. I'm saying that 574 people does not a poll make. At least not one pushed off as national headlines.

    Every poll works the same way. It is a sample of the populus. It is statistics. If you smart enough you can take a college course.

    If you are taking a poll with only 574 people on it seriously maybe you need that college course.

    Let me slam you with fact from Gallup

    "Gallup tracks daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president. Daily results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points."

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/11...

    If only 574 people were called, you would have had a Margin of error of about + or - 4 percent.

    Gallup uses a 3 day rolling average that reduced the Margin of error. Otherwise, they would have to call about 2500 people to get a one day result with a Margin of error of about 3.3.

    Try to take statistics.and get a clue.

    You're missing the reality. If someone walked up to me an said 59% of voters who served in the military are likely to vote for the "R". I would say, 59% of how many. They would then say, 574, and I would say, Pfft! get out of here with those piss poor results.

    A poll is a sample of the populus. Fifty-nine percent of the 574 also equal to 59 of the populus, howerver many millions that is.

    Are you saying that statistic is wrong. Are you say that all polls are in error. They do have a margin of error but they are in the ball park because they are based on math (science).

    Both campaigns are spending a lot of money to get the polls. Therefore, the vast majority of people have a level of confidence in polls.

    Stop! I know what a poll is, okay? And I'm not disputing your knowledge of it either. I just saying 574 people couldn't fill the city swimming pool.

    We done? good, it was fun.

    Every poll uses basically the same procedures. They randomly select a sample of people to represent the populous. They determine the amount of people they want that will give an error rating with a confidence of 95 percent that the result will be in the margin of error.

    574 randomly selected people will generally give you and error rating of + or - four percent with a 95 percent chance it will be within + or - 4 percent.

    Therefore, the poll results provide a 95 percent confidence that the poll number of 69 percent is actually somewhere between 73 and 65.

    I am done
