Chris,

You can't just average the percentages. They have different sample sizes, percentage of independents, etc. I would recommend looking a bit more into introductory statistics before making these claims.

Thanks.

Averaging them takes about 2 seconds. Anything else takes way longer, plus I'd have to crack out my old statistics books, plus it would still have a ridiculously high MOE.

The whole point of my little media sensation is that people spending thousands of dollars and hours and hours on this stuff are often wrong, people like myself and Wyeth spend a few minutes, could likely be equally wrong, but are at least producing some information that "the weak" want.
