They even calculated results the unamerican way!

And they seem to have called up their customers. Who probably are not a representative sample.

Apparently, people without phone books trend heavily Obama.  Who knew?

What's more: If America is anything like Germany, these are closely correlated to people without landlines.

Who are missing from many polls...

Among those making a choice, the results show a 57 percent to 43 percent lead by Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. However, 25 percent are still “undecided.”

Obama leads those who made a choice between the two 57-43.  However, only 75 percent of respondents made a choice.  In other words, the results were:

Obama 43%
Clinton 32%
Undecided 25%

To express it in american,

Obama .57*.75= 43
Clinton .43*.75=32
undecided 25

Stop beating me, Alcoun.

Yes, but at Crazy Ernies Diner in Pittsburg the Clinton Double Beef Cheeseburger is leading the Obama Smoked Salmon Quiche almost 2 to 1...

First rule of polling:

Randomized sample.

Random sample of Pennsylvania users of 1800-FREE-411 /= random sample of Pennsylvania Democratic Primary voters.

That is all.

Ah, I see ARG's evil twin, long locked in the basement with only gruel and ale, has finally broken the lock on the door. Go forth little one, wreck havoc upon the establishment.
