Stephanie Cutter, deputy campaign manager for President Barack Obama, raised questions about the legitimacy of a CBS News/New York Times poll that was released Monday evening.
Appearing on MSNBC Tuesday morning, Cutter dismissed the results of the poll, which showed that a majority of Americans believe Obama’s public support of same-sex marriage was politically motivated, calling the methodology of the survey “significantly biased.”
The poll was a “callback survey,” meaning that the sample included registered voters who were interviewed for an April CBS/NYT survey. Critics of that methodology argue that it can potentially give more weight to enthusiastic voters who are eager to give their opinion.
