[lbo-talk] more polling stuff

Doug:
> average                            47    45     4               2
> 
> actual                             48    48     2       0       0

I assume that these are unweighted averages.  I wonder, however, what these
averages would be if they were weighted by the sample size.  Such weighting
would have the practical effect of increasing the sample size to that of the
total number of people polled in all surveys.  It may (or may not) correct
for a possible bias in individual surveys.
