Looks like it will be a Republican sweep, all right.
Since Palin is promoted and defended day in an day out on that station. I would have to take a little grain of salt with that.
Making the world safe for United Fruit.
Opinion Dynamics (the polling firm) is not affiliated with Fox news, kook. They are only commissioned to take the poll.
You don't notice anything strange about the poll?
What odd about being 193% of Republicans?

Nothing if you're Fox News, I guess.
Oh, kookie believes Opinion Dynamics is controlled by 'da Joooossssss!' lmao. We won't get a remotely meaningful poll on this topic til late December of this year.
I can see November from my House.
Boofer's post #7 shows he's got us both on bozo. Too bad for him. He hasn't figured out there's anything wrong with the poll. No wonder his business is in the toilet.
My bozo was 4 before he came here and went to 5 via Mudd afterward. Been there since. I know Boof. He did same thing at el pee. He puts no one who will comment about him on filter.

It's Obama's fault, Limbaugh sez it and that settles it.

Let me intrepret if for you. Each group of people are willing to support those candidates.
Owe-bama did not do a thing to improve the economy. Nor did the Democrat controlled congress. The numbers don't lie. since the Democrats took control of the Congress in January of 2007, the economy has crashed. The stimulus package FAILED. They always DO. All we've done is triple the deficit, endangered the nation's credit rating, and weakened ourselves.
I can see November from my House.
Let me re-interpret it for you. A poll adds up to 100%, not 193%. Fox screwed it up.
Are you dumb? Let me explain it again. They have a whole bunch of people. Those people are given a list. You check off the candidates that you would vote for. More people are willing to support Palin then any others in the poll. Do you get it yet?
And I was out there phoning my congress critters to NOT vote for the Bush introductory offer and the later Obama ones. I knew it would only end up in the hands of those who created situation and needed instead to go out of business, and I wasn't wrong.
Making the world safe for United Fruit.
It makes you appear to be a stooge for the Jethro. I wonder when Palin will demand an honest, open audit of the Fed?
Making the world safe for United Fruit.
Do you not understand that poll? I don't know Palins position on auditing the FED. I suspect she would support it.
They have a whole bunch of people. Those people are given a list. You check off the candidates that you would vote for. More people are willing to support Palin then any others in the poll. Do you get it yet? You got all that from a single picture? Impressive. So tell me what a poll that totals 193% means.
So tell me what a poll that totals 193% means. First off sorry I called you dumb. Yes I get that from that single picture I don't understand why you don't. There is no 193 percent total. Because some people are willing to support two or even three different candidates is how the numbers add to more then 100 percent. It is kind of like a voting method that Pinguinite supported at one time. His idea was you would have a ballot and you would check off all the candidates that are acceptable to you. Whoever got the highest percentage would win the election. It is not that hard to understand.
Here, Stone, I'll clear it up for you. The actual poll surveyed the favorability of the candidates. Presenting it as a pie chart was a Fox News screw up (what else is new). So sorry. You're explanation is wrong. Pie charts really do have to add up to 100%. Adding up the totals is meaningless.
Are you saying the Palin for President "fair and balanced" news organization would screw up? I swear their newscasters especially the guys are paid by how many times they can utter her name during a newscast.
Making the world safe for United Fruit.
Not really. They merely show proportions.
Can you show me the rules on pie charts. I have never heard of such a rule.
Are you serious?
Yes I am serious. Show me the rule.
You need to be educated. Use the internet. Find out for yourself.
Excel gives some good examples, in fact it uses the Fox type as the example of when pie charts shouldn't be used.
Making the world safe for United Fruit.
Pie charts not adding up to 100 percent, makes as much sense as putting in a 110 percent effort.
Why am I not surprised you don't get it either?
You made the comment. Back it up.
Shouldn't and can't aren't the same thing.
No, I prefer knowing that you think pie charts can add up to any percentage at all. It shows you have no idea what a pie chart is. You should sue your elementary school for malpractice.
Well we just saw one and it war more then 100 percent. It isn't the only one either.
I know. I posted it. It's wrong because the data they used isn't appropriate for pie charts. If you see another one that doesn't add up to 100%, it's wrong too.
Why am I not surprised you don't get it either? I absolutely get it. It's merely a visual aid. While typically it is used to represent a part of the "whole," (ie 100%), there is no hard and fast rule that it has to be used that way, and to use it to simply display proportions is perfectly acceptable.
So what is 193% of 360 degrees? What kind of circle is that?
You are looking at this WAY too literally. It's just a visual aid.
BS. What if Obama had done it, would you be minimizing it then too?

I wonder if some of the BIG business owners on this site use these types of pie charts in their company's prospectus, after all if it's good enough for Fox News..... I expect Limbaugh to be following suit, then it will be a done deal and recognized by ALL institutions as valid.
Making the world safe for United Fruit.
Minimizing what?
Then we both took the same view, performed the same actions.
I can see November from my House.
