[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because a totally unrepresentative sample of DCUM is much better?

And what makes you think professional polling methods are flawed? Or that people would be "more" honest on DCUM? Or that DCUM's atheist trolls wouldn't post multiple times in a way that professional pollsters could control for?

I work for Pew-seriously. I know a lot about polling and statistics.

Your poll is ridiculous.[/quote]

Not trying to draw any conclusions about society. Just trying to see who we have here on DCUM, as I posted in OP.

Since you work for Pew maybe you could address why some of the poll numbers seem off. Did the article ring true for you at all? [/quote]

I don't work in that division, but I know a lot about surveys. I have that survey on my desk because it's in the magazine we all get. Pew's survey used a nationally representative sample (in stark contrast to this thread) of sufficient size to get statistical significance (again, in complete contrast to this thread). So yes, I would say it's reliable.

I'm sorry the results seem "off" to you. You might consider who you work and associate with, and whether that biases your perceptions.[/quote]

Well I do work with a lot of well-educated liberals so that makes sense.

Again, not looking to do any statistical analysis from any "data" gathered here. Just trying to get a feel of who is on this board. So far we have: some sincere people and a few vocal complainers. Sounds about right.
