Not all presidential polls objective

In Friday's Alligator, Danny Beaulieu's letter complains of constant coverage of Ron Paul over other candidates, saying that Barack Obama leads Paul in a Facebook poll. Is the Facebook poll scientific? Could the poll have been influenced by the way candidates are campaigning?

Obama has created a very large Internet presence, but if the same survey were taken on the Reitz Union Colonnade, where Paul supporters have been campaigning, it would probably yield far different results. Don't call the statistical methods used in the editorial flawed and then use the same logic.
