I thought certain righties claimed that polls with what they deem insufficient sample sizes were invalid, yet they appear to have swallowed the latest Fox News poll without question.
Its sample size?
925, most of whom apparently are not Republicans...
The poll is based on live telephone interviews with a national sample of 925 registered voters, and was conducted September 25-27, 2011 in the evenings. Landline and cell phone telephone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey using a probability proportionate to size method, which means that phone numbers for each state are proportional to the number of voters in each state. Results based on the full sample have a margin of error of ± 3% Results among subgroups have larger sampling errors, including: Democrats (n = 382) ± 5% Republicans (n = 338) ± 5.5% Independents (n = 189) ± 7% GOP Primary Voters (n = 363) ± 5% Dem Primary Voters (n = 356) ± 5%
