Look at Nate Silvers analysis. It doesn't rely on the CNN poll alone. -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:32
You obviously didn't read the article. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:32 13
- But you're right, it's obviously better to get 538's spin as opposed to going to the primary source document. Good point. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:35 10
  - Your criticism was "single point analysis" which it isn't. If you disagree that it's bad for the GOP, that's cool, but the analysis relies on 15 - TWuG Mar 30, 10:37 9
    - Your linked CNN Poll showed 1 data point of decline. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:40 8
      - Did you read the link in the IM that goes to the Nate Silver article? I linked *both* for a reason. - TWuG Mar 30, 10:44 7
        
        Nate's doing his usual leftist spin. Yes, I understand. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:45 6
        
        That's fine that you disagree with his conclusion. But his conclusion isn't based on single point analysis, which was your complaint in the first - TWuG Mar 30, 10:48 5
        
        Your subject "Tea Party favorability ratings are in decline" was clearly not supported by the linked article. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:50 4
        
        There hasn't been a change from 38 to 32 in their favorability ratings since December? - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:51 3
        
        Which is the definition of "single data point conclusion" -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:52 2
        
        yet that article was linked and it clearly was supporting the statement. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:54 1
        
        Yes, I should have read both. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:59
- I obviously read the link. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:34
- Maybe he's saving his 20 views for something else. :-) -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:33
