Extolling the Virtues of Political Polling

Posted on February 7, 2008

Yeah, yeah, it’s another video. Live with it.

The crew at the Daily Show wanted to do their own poll because, you know, sometimes polling people at these election primaries doo-dads may not be as reliable as the media would like you to believe (Bradley effect, bandwagon effect, social desirability bias, blah blah blah).

Below is the results of their little polling experiment… all I can say is “run white dude ruuuuunnnnnnn!!!!!!”

(You’ll know what I’m talking about… oh. And POW!)

    That’s why I love this show it’s so politically incorrect. He told the black girl she was voting for Obama and not Hillary.

    I get tired of hearing about all these polls, too. This spoof is on point.

    Mrs G. - I don’t watch Daily Show all that often, but when I do watch it, I enjoy it. And this spoof is a reason why I should probably watch that much more often.

    RawDawg - most definitely, you’ve been added to mine and I’ll be sure to stop by more often :)
