You do know this is the politics forum right? So why the hell do you come in here all the time? How is it possible to have over 8,300 posts, but have only typed 8,000 sentences? Does that officially make you a troll? ...I think so.

Know how I know you're a statist?

This is where you're wrong. There are several factors besides number in the sample that affect a poll's accuracy, such as: wording of the question and randomness of the selection process; which is what Buck mentioned.
The margin of error: 1000 = +/-3.1%; 700 = +/- 3.7%; 291 = +/-5.1%.
At some point there's a diminishing returns. But the other factors make the confidence interval go way below 95% (supposed industry standard, but who questions the polling agency's method?)
That 50% poll might be as low as 44.9%. This is where Buck can be wrong. But what if one of those 5% confidence intervals is the real percentage because of: zero call back policy, a mostly RDD with very few cell phone, etc. They don't give their methods usually. It's all about marketing. NBC has no reason to influence public opinion?
So in short, both of you are wrong on some aspect of this. Except, Buck trusts his man is correct! So he'll do the automatic, "silly rabbit, you don't know shit about how polls work!"
only 5.1% is all?
i kinda thought the margin of error would be a bit higher.
The only way you take back control is to fight violently....which none of you are willing to do because you are all gringos. You people can't have a decent protest without the police sending you home. If you can't handle your own police and make a statement with them, you are nothing as a nation and the nation owns you. You are slaves. Admit it.
constitution makes me a statist?
yes
When ever someone calls me a statist I burn the flag and piss on the constitution.
not sure if he's flipping burgers, but he is making minimum wage...at 45 years old.Is Dr. KKK really a burger jockey? Please tell me this is true. It just makes so much sense.
