Facebook Poll versus ABC News Poll
Facebook Supporters* ABC News Poll**I'm sure this has been covered but I'm quite surprised about the big differences between Facebook users and the "general voting population" (I don't know how ABC selected its sample). Some simple observations include: 1) Facebook users are generally more educated than the population at large 2) Facebook users are more web-inclined (duh) 3) Facebook users are younger Giuliani is taking an especially harsh beating on Facebook. (Maybe that's because his daughter is on there.) Personally I would lean towards Obama and McCain. |

Interesting. I believe the Facebook to be more accurate. It's funny how you look at the people who scored higher on the abc poll than the facebook poll it's the usual media establishment hacks, Giuliani, and Clinton. The media decided long ago it's going to be Giuliani vs. Clinton and all their news reporting has given them favorable time compared to other candidates.
On the other hand candidates like Obama, Kucinich and Paul gain significantly on the facebook poll. I think we are starting to see a shift away from the old land-line polling technology. Perhaps like when phones were first used to do polls and they were very innacurate because only a certain demographic owned phones. Every other major indicator shows similar results (straw polls, money raised, meetup groups, online polls, overall online buzz, caucuses), however the old phone polling shows things significantly different. |

You do realize cell phones are quickly phasing out land-lines totally. 2007 will be the first year people spent more on cell phones than standard phones, and cell phones out number standard phone lines significantly. Granted some of these are corporate phones but the trend is significant I believe. Is there a chance this is throwing polls off? Quote:

BTW, some of the larger national polls now include cell phones and others are moving to keep up with that changing demographic as well...and they all rely on commonly accepted polling protocols and factor in the potential missing cell phone voters in their determinations ....unlike any internet poll. If money and internet polls were "major indicators", dont you think Romney, Guilinni, Thompson would be attacking Ron Paul instead of Mike Hucakbee? *** Quote:
