In response to "Your linked CNN Poll showed 1 data point of decline. " by Strongbad

Did you read the link in the IM that goes to the Nate Silver article? I linked both for a reason.

Specifically because 1 poll means nothing without the context of all the OTHER polls that Nate includes in his regression analysis.

Responses:

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
