[quote=TheManWithAUsername][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.[/quote] That was my point. They weren't comparing approval or desire but fear. We don't know what portion of the sample wants reelection vs. the portion that doesn't; we know what portion [b]fears[/b] each. The right will always always have a huge lead there - it's the foundation of their ideologies. As Karl Rove knows well, psych studies show that the smallest fear stimulus increases support for Reps. I bet just using the word "fear" in a survey skews the results.[/quote]
