Unskewing the polls: Jeb Bush Frontrunner edition

The GOP seems to have progressed beyond the myopic days of unskewing polls in their favor. Not so Freepers, who are finding they have increasingly little desire to have anything to do with a reality they don't care for.

Thus, their reactions to a poll finding Jeb Bush ahead in New Hampshire might as well come from 2012.

Enlightened1's done studies of his own:

I don't know a single person that is for Jeb Bush?

This poll is a fraud from GOPe trying to push Jeb Bush.

jimbo123 second guesses the sampling:

This poll skewed the numbers for Jeb by oversampling Republicans by 8 points and undersampling Independents by 5 points.

All of the other polls in NH show a 3 or 4 way race and are using the correct sampling of the primary electorate.

If this poll didn’t oversample Republicans and undersample Independents, it wouldn’t be an outlier.

Lurkinanloomin thinks all polls are faked:

Polls are used to manipulate opinion, not reflect it.

jimbo123 knows Bush will have no crossover appeal:

79% Not Bush
21% Bush

St_Thomas_Aquinas explains all the manipulation, and then throws in a Romney/Jeb conspiracy for free!

The GOP loves having ‘Blue’ States pick our candidates.

That's the bottom line here.

They also like open primaries, so that liberal democraps can choose our candidate.

They also like front-loading the primaries so that the candidate with the most money to spend on TV ads enjoys the advantage.

Candidates used to be chosen in smokey backrooms. It's much different now. They're chosen in smokey frontrooms.

If Bush wins the nomination, it was won in that meeting with Romney where he made Romney an offer he couldn't refuse.

Steve Van Doorn goes on the assumption no polling actually occurred:

Odd they have Chris Christie tied with Ted Cruz. I wonder how they make these polls up? If they are open primary I would think Chris Christie would be ahead of Ted Cruz.

ForYourChildren knows the real polls are from right wing websites:

Another reason I don’t believe this story....

Of course, if the Democrat wins, it'll be election fraud, so it's all good.
