Re: This is a puzzle for me -- have you seen any articles that analyze popular support and why it is there??


Polling is a very subjective business. The standing joke is to ask any group who among them has ever been polled; the answer is no one.

Polls are the most easily manipulated thing in the world. For instance, say you have a terrorist attack on a nation and then you have some drastic measures put in place to take away civil liberties and a government that trades in fear-mongering for control of the populace.

Then you get a call at 9:00 PM from a stranger saying he's running a poll, and what do you think of Bush's performance?

What would you say?
