No Surprise: Health Care Poll Stacked the Deck (yet again)

For the umpteemth time, a NYT/CBS "poll" stacked the deck in favor of Democrats, in this case, Obama voters, to support the agenda of the "poll" takers.

"(CNSNews.com) - A New York Times/CBS News poll released Saturday that showed broad bipartisan support for President Obama’s health care reform, over-sampled Obama voters compared to McCain voters, critics say.

The poll, administered June 12-16, found that 72 percent of respondents favored the creation of a government health-insurance plan that would compete with private insurers.

It also said 50 percent of respondents thought the government would do a better job providing medical coverage than private insurers, up from 30 percent in 2007; and that 59 percent thought the government would be better at holding down costs, up from 47 percent two years ago.

But critics including pollster Kellyanne Conway say the results are inaccurate because they are heavily skewed toward those who voted for Obama in the 2008 presidential election."

    Stacking the polls is common among the media because it sways more opinions there way. It's the usual theory noone likes a loser .People like a winner. We need to rise up against the liberal media. While everyone with a healtcare plan will probably pay taxes on it, Sen. Kennedy had it put in the bill that union employees won't be required to pay taxes on their benefits. Also on page 114 of the bill It is included that all Fed Gov. employees will not be subject to the public healthcare plan. benefits 114 included fed gov employees subject public healthcare plan

    Ted Kennedy sucks! Nobody is from more of a "Do you know who I am" crowd than Ted Kennedy. Or any Kennedy for that matter. He is a commie and I had to put up with him most of my life as I was born and raised in MA. He was behind the service act too. These people have been nothing but elites who womanize, cheat commit crimes and then get away with it. But people feel so sorry for him because he has brain cancer. I think it is Karma.

    Awful easy to skew a poll if you want certain results going into it. And filter response with people you know will support your viewpoint.

    If the poll is accurate it says more about the intelligence of the electorate than the desirability of a government run health care system.

    Only dummies believe poll results, from dummies like the people employed by CBS, NBC, ABC and the rest that are in the tank with the dummy, TOTUS.

    This poll is about as accurate as the recent election in Iran.
