Here's an example of a phone poll: http://bhday.files.wordpress.com/200...l-polling2.wav Does that sound fair to you? |
The phone poll you posted (IMC polling, whoever they are) is not at all representative of most phone polls. I really dont know where you get your information.
In all the national media polls (abc/wash post, nbc/wall street journal, cnn, fox, usa today/gallup, pew/ap, etc) Ron Paul is included by name.
The reason there is such a difference between these polls and the internet polls and straw polls is simple.
The former are prepared and administered to be statistically valid to represent likely voters (which is why they are all within a few points of each other for each of the candidates) whereas internet and straw polls are pseudo polls and have no statistical validity.

Good luck on your next money bomb..perhaps Paul will creep up another point or two!
