WE ARE THE 91%: Only 9% of Americans

[Joe Cocker]

One of the most amazing — and significant — statistics of this election season has gone almost completely unnoticed:

Only 9% of sampled households gave an answer to pollsters in 2012:

It has become increasingly difficult to contact potential respondents and to persuade them to participate. The percentage of households in a sample that are successfully interviewed – the response rate – has fallen dramatically. At Pew Research, the response rate of a typical telephone survey was 36% in 1997 and is just 9% today.

The general decline in response rates is evident across nearly all types of surveys, in the United States and abroad. At the same time, greater effort and expense are required to achieve even the diminished response rates of today. These challenges have led many to question whether surveys are still providing accurate and unbiased information.

I know I'll get calls all the time I even changed the ring number to two rings on the old answering machine.

And yet...
This morning on one liberal news program they were saying 53% of their respondents think O-bloviate-me will win a second term.
So would that be the 9 percentile? The 4.77% of respondents?
The 4.77% who would speak for ALL of America?
Ahh, the infinite wisdom of the media!
They'd have you believe that.

Four more years of Obama would have this country looking like Afghanistan.
Or would that be Afgani-stain?

You'll find me among the outlaws, clinging to my guns.
Or dead.

What the Lame Stream Media is failing (on purpose) to tell the public is that those polls are scewed in that they poll mostly Democrats.....so of course the responses will heavily reflect as "high numbers" for Obozo.

When will the masses wake up? Probably never. Just keep voting skin color and razzle dazzle while the world burns.

Four more years of Obama and he will have that "Change" he envisioned.
