As for the NY Times poll on Obama's healtcare, as I said in that other thread, the sample is biased to Obama supporters, thus approval of his healthcare plan. In an election where 52% of the country voted for Obama, and 47% of the country voted for McCain, they took a sample of voters where 48% of the 800 people they polled voted for Obama, but only 25% of the people voted for McCain. That is incorrectly sloped towards Obama voters, and thus more people who would be for his healthcare plan. it's way too much proportional of Obama voters. Whereas the actual vote was only off by about 5% Obama vs McCain, this poll was almost 2 for 1 towards Obama. Bad sample.
