Amazon founder and top dog Jeff Bezos has bought The Washington Post. And he is reported to be a Libertarian. That will be an interesting dynamic to say the least. While Bezos supports gay “marriage” and often donates to Democrats, he also donates to Republicans and has fought the “tax the rich” mentality. Tree based […]

Comparing this post debate poll from WaPo / ABC to the last one they did before the debate 15 days ago, there are some things that jump out at you. The earlier poll sampled 3% more Democrats than Republicans (33% D’s, 30% R’s) a +3 lean towards Democrats and the latest poll samples 9% more Democrats […]

Well, there they go again. Polls should measure public opinion, not attempt to sway it. What makes for a good poll these days? Well, the same as always. A good sample size, I prefer at least 1,000. And most importantly, a party makeup that realistically reflects the public at large. These days, I accept a […]

A Washington Post / ABC News poll released today has some bad news for President Obama. His approval has slipped to 47%. A full 50% disapprove of the job Obama is doing. I know what you are thinking. The liberal WaPo and equally liberal ABC News conducting a poll? Can this be a fair poll? […]

The fact that the Washington Post got something wrong concerning Eric Cantor (R-Va) is not news. It is not shocking at all, in fact. What is both shocking and newsworthy is that they admitted they got something wrong about a Republican.
