I have to go but when you witness the things you do on here and a poll confirms it that there are more of them out there like this one did, you have to be shocked and dismayed and amazed.

Wishing here that someone really could prove it false but it has already been proven pretty accurate in this site alone.

hmmm I think I did that. I didn't say it was false. It's not valid though. Just like in this thread alone, it's been proven invalid. Most people either disagree with it or disagree with polls in general.

Not accurate at all. More people disagree with it than agree with it. Therefore by the standards set in this topic...it's not valid

Darn...I said I was going to stop spinning my wheels frustrated

That doesn't prove anything. Even the people who did this poll would insist they were still right...lol

The things that have been posted on this site in other threads shows that this poll is accurate....

Sadly ....

The burden of proof is on the person(s) making a positive claim. :wink:

well of course they insist they are right. I can insist I'm right too but that doesn't make it so slaphead

AGAIN....I've seen as many (if not more) on the other side of the coin. Still doesn't prove or validate the poll :laughing:

Just because someone happens to agree doesn't make a poll valid

Many studies have confirmed that the more you watch fox news the less you actualy know or understand. I have yet to see one study done by any party that claims watching fox news makes you better informed.

The fact that some Fox news viewers disagree with this does not make it less true. laugh

No, it doesn't. Any social scientist worth his salt will tell you that polls can only get a very broad overview of a subject at the moment the poll is taken. If you read the internals of the poll, their accuracy ranges from sort of accurate to wildly inaccurate. If you read Frank Luntz's books, he explains how he words questions to get the response he wants-which all pollsters do.

conducted by who?? I submit that anyone that believes what they are told on any side would confirm that.

There are people that don't watch Fox saying it's not valid too...again...cancels that theory out.

I did not say this thread proved anything, you did..

I said reading this site proves this poll accurate. Just read the political forums...lol

So again this site proves this poll accurate.

you are talking about all of the posts over the years...I was just more specific. I also addressed that over the years...I've seen the opposite.

So again....this site proves it's invalid.

Even if tricks were done, this poll is a concern.

This site in the political forums alone proves this poll pretty accurate.

With no other verification needed.

Sadly.

Not.


There are people on this site that believe the questions in the poll to be true. It can be seen in the political forums alone on here.

Verifying this poll as accurate to some extent at least.

No way it invalidates though...lol

Again it is a sad state of affairs that there are people out there this ignorant and misinformed.

But you can tell why Faux likes them though huh? Easily mislead.

Not Not laugh

There are people on this site (and a majority in this thread alone) that believes polls aren't vaild. It can be seen in the political forums AND this thread alone on here too.

Doesn't validate anything. You have to take into consideration the other side as well...which are saying what I'm saying. So (if majority rules) this poll is invalid.

Just because a few say it's true, doesn't validate it. It STILL does not prove who was polled, the questions that were actually asked or if they asked any one at all. Just because someone agrees or disagrees with what a poll says, does make it valid.

It's still opinion and not fact

so 3 people think the poll is accurate

5 people think it's inaccurate or invalid

1 is in OZ laugh

So by the standards set....that means the poll is inaccurate/invalid. And I want to go to OZ laugh

I am not doing a poll and the majority here makes no difference to the validity of the poll.

There are threads in the political forums that prove this poll correct at many levels.

That validates the poll.

No matter who votes against it, it is still validated on this site.

One of many studies this one was done by tbe University of Maryland.

One would have to take the time to see that this study was and taken for the most accurate results possible. It is a university study for petes sake. They have no agenda beyond accurate results. To say it is agenda driven is absurd.


"Looking at the misperceptions one at a time, people were asked, for example, if the U.S. had discovered the alleged stockpiles of WMD in Iraq since the war began. Just 11% of those who relied on newspapers as their “primary news source” incorrectly believed that U.S. forces had made such a discovery. Only slightly more — 17% — of those who relied on NPR and PBS were wrong. Yet 33% of Fox News viewers were wrong, far ahead of those who relied on any other outlet."
