Methodology:
The USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll of 3,444 Iraqis, the largest and most comprehensive poll in Iraq since last year’s invasion, was administered by the Pan Arab Research Center of Dubai.
Interviews were conducted between March 22 and April 2, with the exception of the governate of Sulaymaniya where interviews ran through April 9. All interviews were conducted in person in the respondent’s home, with an average interview length of 70 minutes. The cooperation rate - the percentage of those contacted who agreed to be interviewed - was 98%.
Two of the three governates in the predominantly Kurdish region, which has its own administrative agencies and has been largely independent from Baghdad for the past decade, did not participate in the poll. To have a full representation of Kurdish views in the poll , additional interviews in the third governate, Sulaymaniya, were conducted.
The margin of sampling error for the poll is +/- 2 percentage points.
How can you have a scientific poll of the entire country if two thirds of the Kurdish region weren't polled? That a total of 1,334,300 possible poll candidates that were excluded.(estimated population of the two governorates in 2000 from Wikpedia and Global Security.org) That's just the easy three minutes of research showing possible faults in the poll.
Further, the poll was conducted by the Pan-Arab Research Center of Dubai. The same research company employed by Al-Jazeera to conduct it's polls. So are you now telling me that Al Jazeera is also a credible source.
GS, you want definate proof that this particular poll is faulty, however you have yet to produce a shred of definate proof in any of your posts. You basically say "I say it's true, prove me wrong." I'm good with that except, you won't accept that from an opposing opinion. When you're pressed for information you fall apart. On a previous thread I asked you for a specific plan and you fell apart at the seams and couldn't produce one. On this thread you have again started your typical diatribe of throwing out meaningless information and trying to pass it as conclusive evidence to support your position. Please, try to do a little more research and a little less bloviating when posting your conclusive evidence.
P.S. I'm still waiting for you to post your plan for the Iraq pullout.
