PPP Tweet: ARG poll "seems impossible"

[pauliticalfan]

ppppolls: Anyone notice the ARG poll says Paul's at 24% with men and 16% with women but only 16% overall? Seems impossible: http://t.co/N4x9JQQw

Seriously, how is this possible? ARG has some explaining to do.

It's weird how PPP of all places has become gung-ho Ron Paul supporters. I know, I know, but still!

The transgendered community is bringing down the vote! Kidding...

He's behind in the Alien vote.

they are just pro-fairness and pro-integrity with respect to polling.

They are not gung-ho Paul supporters. They are gung-ho on the accuracy of their numbers.

According to 2008 exit polls, the GOP Iowa Caucus was 56% male and 44% female. That would put RP closer to 20% in this poll if my math is correct. The only way he'd be at 16% is with 0% male turnout.

Pure bullshit manipulation.

 

[nyrgoal99]

so figure 50/50, we are really at least 20%

They are not gung-ho Paul supporters. They are gung-ho on the accuracy of their numbers.

And it's awesome to see them protecting their trade from those that would manipulate it into "the polls really are not accurate anyway" that we're seeing right now.

Could that be a typo?

Because he's listed 4th but has a higher percentage than the person listed 3rd.

 

[kill the banks]

hmmm , good point

ARG said Paul won 1.5% of 6 black guys last time i think... racist! (or maybe that was InAdv...)

PPP keepin them honest. PPP and DesMoines Register/ Ann Seltzer polls are the ones to look for

It still would need to be less than 10% of the women for him to drop to 16%

Wow, ppppolls has a very good point. I'm sure they put some thought into it before tweeting it. Oh well, I'd don't think an inaccurate poll is bad for us. Maybe someone will start attacking the warmonger Santorum.

ARG is lulz. It's why this poll shouldn't be taken seriously.

The CNN poll and PPP polls both had similar numbers for Ron among Republicans. I would say they are pretty close, and Ron is probably up by 4-5. We shall see with the DMR poll Saturday.

24% with men and 16% with women but only 16% overall?

The only way that could be possible is if they polled over 1000 women and about 21 men. So yeah, they are right, the ARG poll is BS.

 

[Rincewind]

It still would need to be less than 10% of the women for him to drop to 16%

Unless there was a slight imbalance in the first place - Say 60/40 women/men.

Don't get me wrong, I much prefer PPP, and PPP has a better historical record, just pointing out something that looked odd on that link.

Geese, we must pick up the nongender vote immediately. Everyone else got credit for nongenders apparently but us.
