CBS/NYT, Newsweek Bring Up Rear As Least Accurate Polls

By Mark Finkelstein on Campaign Watch

Via Drudge. According to a study performed by a Fordham University scholar, the least accurate of the 20 presidential polls were those performed by CBS/New York Times and, in dead last, Newsweek.

In its final poll, CBS/Times forecast an 11-point Obama margin, 52-41. Newsweek was even more "optimistic", foreseeing a 12-point Obama win, 53-41.

According to Fordham's Costas Panagopoulos, Obama's winning margin was 6.15 points. So the two big polling losers were wrong by a factor of roughly 100%. Not very accurate, you might say. But if the polls were sufficient to suppress Republican voter enthusiasm in a few key districts, surely worth any temporary stain on their reputations to the liberal outlets. Come on, President-elect Obama has said we're all going to have to make sacrifices!

Note: The winners were Rasmussen and Pew, both of whose final calls were spot on. <A href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2008/11/06/cbs-nyt-newsweek-bring-rear-least-accurate-polls" target=_blank>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2008/11/06/cbs-nyt-newsweek-bring-rear-least-accurate-polls

It's no coincidence that the old dinosaurs of the Main Stream Media are the ones that did the worst.

They don't even try anymore...just a mouthpiece for the few remaining people dumb enough to read their day old or week old news...and actually pay for it.

:lolBIG:

BTW.. those polls were not wrong!
We all know you are a complete idiot and you cant read polls.

(Especially the part that typically spells out the margin of error that most dumb stupid people can read.. You unfortunately cant understand such simple shit)

Please some one help this moron factor in the margin of error then have him come back with this complete bullshit!

Exactly the very 2 polls I told you months ago that I only paid attention to, Joe, while you and your ilk were constantly blasting: "{all} polls are bullshit" ALL over this forum, telling us how we were sheep for buying into it. "The race is dead even!" just days before the election....LMFAO.

Guess you were wrong (I doubt you have the fukin humility to admit it). Once a tool, always a tool.

:howdy:

I already admitted I was wrong about the election.

Now try to win with class.

Like I said in a previous thread, one of the cable news outlets (CNN I think) stated that 95 out of 100 polls fall within the margin of error.
