Please know this about Frank Luntz:
In 1997, he was reprimanded by the American Association for Public Opinion Research for refusing to release poll data to support his claimed results "because of client confidentiality". Diane Colasanto, who was president of the AAPOR when it reprimanded Luntz, said, "It is simply wanting to know, How many people did you question? What were the questions? We understand the need for confidentiality, but once a pollster makes results public, the information needs to be public. People need to be able to evaluate whether it was sound research."<10> In 2000 he was censured by the National Council on Public Polls "for allegedly mischaracterizing on MSNBC the results of focus groups he conducted during the <2000> Republican Convention." In September 2004, MSNBC dropped Luntz from its planned coverage of that year's presidential debate, following a letter from Media Matters that outlined Luntz's GOP ties and questionable polling methodology.<11><12> In a video piece, entertainers and libertarians Penn & Teller lambasted Luntz for his comment that the key to survey polling is "to ask a question in the way that you get the right answer".<13>

This guy:



He cooked last night's "focus group." No doubt in my mind.

1. He's a fraud. He hires actors and orchestrates results.

2. His "research" and "focus groups" are more like late night tv infomercials
Scum.

In the end, he's another fraud, another con man, who has contributed to the downfall of this nation.

4. Total fraud. No clue why he has anything at all to do with politics when you consider his record.

7. Which station was he on last night? Oops, nevermind...

I see it was Fox. Probably the only ones that would have him since no one else takes him seriously, at least I hope so.

8. Of course he did. I've no doubt there will be evidence that he did within the day. Manipulative,
vile, disgusting bastard. Anyone who uses him in amy professional manner discredits their entire operation--except it is entirely too late for Fox to lose credibility; they never had it to begin with.
