Are 84% lying when they say they would never lie?

Ann Coulter’s blog EIGHTY-FOUR PERCENT SAY THEY'D NEVER LIE TO A POLLSTER is an informative piece written to bring encouragement to republican voters. The blog appeared on Coulter’s website AnnCoulter.com. Ann is an author with well known Republican views. One of her books to make it to the New York Times Bestsellers’ list was titled If Democrats Had Any Brains They’d Be Republicans. She has even been referred to as the Michael Moore of Republicans. The people who visit her website frequently are most likely Right-Wingers. Her crudeness and intensity of her opinions don’t leave room for many others.

Coulter’s most recent blog questioned the authenticity of answers Americans provide when being polled. Coulter suggested that because it was less “cool” to vote for McCain then for Obama people might just say they were voting for Obama when asked. Ann began the blog with a statement reminding Americans of the Bradley Effect. Originating in 1982, the Bradley Effect claims that Black people tend to poll higher because Americans are afraid if they say no they will be considered a racist.

Coulter reviewed polls dating back as far at 1976 and presented a logical argument against the accuracy of Obama’s place at the polls. Coulter’s argument was well written and simple. Although, with social barriers being shattered in recent years, it is hard to say whether The Bradley Effect will carry on to this election as well. Either way, Coulter’s blog gave Republicans reason to hope when the reasons seem to be shrinking fast.
