NBC/WSJ Poll that sinks the GOP is skewed

Update: A shout out to the Village Voice for the link and all of you who are stopping by,  Think we are “Running scared?”  Best put your money under your mattress. We are just about broke as a nation. Enjoy!

Yesterday I posted doubts regarding the Gallup Poll that stated Republican approval rating falls to lowest point in Gallup poll history. It didn’t make sense and appeared an outlier. I went into the past and gave the sordid  history of Eric Holder, the DOJ and Gallup. Gallup sued by DOJ – Funny, GOP poll numbers tank. It made little sense that this was true when looking at other polls.

Now we learn that there are serious questions regarding the infamous NBC/WSJ  poll that has a questionable pedigree as well.  It has been non stop reporting that this defines the end of the GOP.  Why isn’t this reported? Here we go:

From: PJ Tattler:

A sharp reader caught a statistical problem with that much-cited NBC/WSJ poll that shows Republican s are getting whooped in the shutdown:

@texasbryanp In today’s NBC/WSJ poll, 1 in 5 respondents work for govt. Only 8% of general pop works for govt. See last page.

Here is the complete poll with the sample, the questions, etc. On the very last page we get the breakdown of where the 800 respondents work.
We do have government workers heavily sampled, by more than twice the actual percentage of Americans who work for the government. Then let’s factor in the poll’s partisan sample, which was 43-32 Democrat, the percent that admits voting for Obama, which was 44 versus just 35 for Romney, and this looks like a left-heavy sample. I’m not screaming UNSKEWED POLLS!!!1!!!1! here, but, it’s questionable. Then, factor in NBC’s role. That network is not to be trusted. (Maybe PJ Tattler doesn’t want to say it, but I will: Screwed!)
