CNN poll finds Obama 52%, Romney 46%... by sampling 11% more Democrats than Republicans

[Little-Acorn]

A CNN poll released Monday, Sept. 10, 2012, found that 52% of "likely voters" would vote for Obama today, while 46% would vote for Romney.

How did CNN find this out?

By asking 441 Democrats while asking only 397 Republicans. That's 11% more Democrats than Republicans.

I'm so glad the media isn't biased.

They also undersampled the Independents. Romney is up 14 points with Independents.

According to Rush, if CNN had done the poll correctly, Romney would be up by 8. 6+8 is a 14 point swing.

NBC’s ‘Today’ Skips 9/11 Moment Of Silence For Kardashian Interview

I would go as far as to say the MSM is the enemy of America!

But, of course this is nothing new for the "Today Show". Remember how the altered the 911 tapes in the Zimmerman case?

Was there an indication in the poll, of how many Independents were sampled? I didn't see one.

I briefly saw it on the news. Don't remember exactly, but Dems. were in the 400's, Republicans 300's and Independents were about 40.

and even stacking the deck, the leads are slight and often within margin of error.
