New Reuters poll showing Romney up 21 is bogus.

"The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online..."

 

[teacherone]

lulz...how'd we miss that one?

 

[gerryb]

It has a margin of error of 5%, apparently. We'll see.

Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online surveys but this poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 5 percentage points for Republicans and 3.4 percentage points for all voters.

Edit: I guess Democrats tell the truth 1.6 basis points more online? I dunno..

 

[jersdream]

Then why post it again when it has already been discussed?

 

[Student Of Paulism]

Lol why are they even polling dems/indies when they can't vote in the SC Primary?

SC is open

 

[RonPaulRevolution!]

SC is open

Are you sure?

According to http://votingronpaul.com/ it is not.

 

[The_Ruffneck]

too late , it has become a self fulfilling prophecy like the frothy 'surge' in Iowa

 

[PauliticsPolitics]

Not only has this crap poll been posted here like 7 times, we have pointed out that it was online-only many times also...

For instance: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...-16-QUESTIONABLE-SAMPLE&p=4029166#post4029166

Yea, and on Wiki it shows as OPEN. Getting annoying now, does any know or can find out what the true deal is with SC?

 

[Oddone]

SC has an OPEN Primary - "South Carolina S.C.Code Ann. §§ 7-11-10 A U.S. District Court judge ruled in Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee v. South Carolina, that South Carolina's open primary is constitutional."

That website is INCORRECT. Please let them know.
SC is certainly open. Any registered voter can vote.

What the hell????????????? does the campaign know?

i did hear Ron mention that the trend of Independents will carry forth into SC so it sounds like Ron knows.

 

[nc4rp]

could the media be playing us so that dems and independents wont come out to vote for Dr Paul?????????

did someone change the wikipedia page lately? might show who is trying to to scam the voters.

seriously 2 different reporters on CNN said "yes the SC primarys are closed" i smell a rat

 

[dvalukis]

It's amazing how slanted these articles are. Even before I was a RP supporter I was fed up with it.

So it was an online poll? Soooo basically that means that online polls are now legitimate? And the fact that we win nearly every single one of them is a non-issue. No, of course they're not ALL legitimate. We win the illegitimate polls, and, in contrast, Romney's near-singular win happened to be in the ONLY online poll legitimate enough for the media to trumpet. Obviously.

Yep, it was an online poll done by them. It is not and will not be included in RCP. It is not a "real scientific poll".

I emailed Drudge (Matt) telling him as well that the poll was bogus and not a real poll. The headline is going to be used to pump Romney just like that fake CNN poll was used pump Santorum in Iowa.

Ron Paul receiving a "game changing endorsement" today in SC hopefully will push things the other way in real life.
