Interesting Poll by Research 2000... - New England Patriots Forums

***DarrylS*** · 02-04-2010, 03:40 AM

before all the righties get their depends in a bunch, it was commissioned by Daily Kos, without regard Research 2000 is considered a credible source, and this poll was exclusive of republicans...

Very interesting poll as it certainly seems to be in lockstep with the teachings of Rush, Hannity, Coulter etc... and helps explain the divide on this board fairly well.. once again this party is not pro life, it is pro birth who overwhelmingly believe is creative design, gays should not be around our children and that you must be christian to be saved....

I think its the never ending generalizations like that coming from both sides that explains the a good part divide on this board.

That along with polls.. it is what it is, the results validate how this plays out on this board.. interestingly they left out MMGW..

There are a few exceptions, but does that break the rule???

I just noticed from the article that the highest demographic percentage was derived from questioning christian men from the south(42%). The northeast which is the most liberal was was only represented in the poll by 11%. I mentioned yesterday that I'm not all that capable of the science used for polls but that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Does Obama want the terrorists to win ?

No....

Wait....

He may want them to win in court !

Sheikh Mohammed had already asked to plead guilty in military court before
Obama decided that we would foot the bill for his trial in civilain court.

This was the only poll that had Brown losing in Mass also. It's not interesting in the least other than the man who always whines about sources dares to post this. Research 2000 is 100% invalid based on it's results.

a.) No it wasn't.

b.) Actually, R2K is one of the more accurate pollsters out there.

Believe I qualified the source, and find your comments interesting.. it is one of the few polls that exclusively have done work with one party, do you know of another??

Personally do not like Daily Kos, but it was linked in LGF.. if is was posted on their site would have linked directly to it, however as Kos paid for it there was no choice..

The results are very much in line with the right on this board, and personally find the results somewhat scary.. one might say that the "Chief Dittohead" and his minions have indoctrinated his followers well..

Yeah I know but that place is a total hack job and doesn't deserve a thread.

"The new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of the Massachusetts special Senate election has the race as a tie between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown -- the best independent poll result that Coakley has had in the last few days."

Most partisan sites are, tried to find the actual source from Research 2000...but right now it seems to be the exclusive property of Markos... take it or leave it.
