New ABC / WaPo Poll Uses “Oversamples” To Goal Seek Strong Obama Approval Rating

M
Just one day after the bitter mainstreamers at ABC/WaPo and CNN used their “oversamples” of Democrats to rig polls showing an unprecedented unfavorable rating of the incoming President-elect (see “New ABC / WaPo Poll Shows Drop In Trump Favorability Courtesy Of Aggressive ‘Oversamples’“), those same outlets have used those same methodologies to engineer stellar approval ratings for Obama…shocking.
Just like yesterday’s polls, both ABC / Wapo and CNN used an aggressive, 8-point “oversample” of Democrats to lavish praise on their chose party and candidate.
Apparently, ABC / WaPo believes that only 23% of registered voters are Republican… …while CNN stretched to 24% Republicans but still maintained their 8-point Democrat oversample by just adding more dems to the pool.
A total of 1,000 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. Among the entire sample, 32% described themselves as Democrats, 24% described themselves as Republicans, and 44% described themselves as independents or members of another party
