Now on to the polls the reason I didn't link them the other times is because I was using firefox and for some reason I can't paste when I use that browser.  Also one of the polls did show that at least earlier in the year they did have 10% of hispanic votes even more recent polls show that they have lost that support so I will admit I was wrong because I doubted they ever had that kind of support.

So two of them show the tea party to be considerably whiter (~90%), and two of them are very close to the survey you so distrust (within the margin of error). Scathing stuff! I'm truly humbled.


I will ignore your sarcasm and say what I said before which is it's better to look at multiple polls then draw a conclusion.  None of those polls are right the truth is probably somewhere in the middle when you average all of those polls.

But answer the question I asked at the beginning have you ever voted for anyone other than a republican? 

That's a statistically fallacy you are making.  It is NOT better to look at multiple polls.


I've already shown in this thread Rausserman is the most accurate source when you compare real data despite them skewing right when you compare surveys.  In otherwords... polling skews towards a liberal perspective.  By comparing multiple sources, you end up with a liberal viewpoint.
