I don't get the point of only trying to sample federal government workers. This shutdown affects so many people. The freaking guy driving the Metro bus I take in to work every day will have shortened hours next week, and he works for a private entity. |

I get the point. If you want to skew a poll as much as possible, dick with the sample. By sampling who they wanted to, they achieved a predetermined result. |

I don't see how this is in any way new, though. Pollsters have been screwing with data since the invention of both pollsters and screwing. |

Remember the last election, and how certain people here claimed that the only honest poll was the one showing Romney with a healthy lead? It turns out that poll was bollocks, and it also turns out that people believe what they want to believe, even conservatives. |

You're missing the point. You're always going to be able to say, "your side did it too." So what does that tell you about the absurdity of taking sides? |
