[quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous]How did they turn 33% into a 2 to 1 margin???? Did Karl Rove do the calculations?[/quote] You're right; it was actually 2 to 1 did NOT fear an Obama victory. But since only 16% feared an Obama loss, they took the fact that the minority that fear his victory is twice the size (in this poll, at least) of the minority that fear his defeat and made it sound like a 2 to 1 majority fear an Obama victory, when in fact a 2 to 1 majority do not. The big question, for me at least, is whether the reporter distorted the result knowingly or out of ignorance.[/quote]
