That poll is just another lib MSM lopsided poll. Over sample
libs & under sample conservatives. More BS propaganda
disguised as fact from the liberal left.

Problem With Bush Approval Polls

By Rob on War On Terror
Say Anything

Yesterday I posted about a poll suggesting that American approval of the President was sagging badly. Today it comes to light that the poll in question probably isn’t all that representative of American sentiment in general.
    Take a gander at Questions 2 a. – d. in the toplines of 
    the Ipsos poll (PDF). Of the 79% of respondents who are 
    registered to vote, almost half (49%) describe themselves 
    as “strongly Democrat” or “moderately Democrat,” whereas 
    only 39% describe themselves as “strongly Republican” 
    or “moderately Republican.”
As for the 21% of respondents who aren’t even registered to vote? Well, not to sound rude, but who really cares what they think?

Another thing to consider about the way these polls are conducted in general is that the growing use of cell phones as a primary means of telephonic communication may be skewing the results. How much is hard to say, but I think its pretty clear that its having an effect. Just as “do not call” lists and other telemarketer countermeasures do.

The bottom line is, I’m not sure I’m going to be trusting any more of these polls touted by the media. It just doesn’t seem like any of them are really all that representative of the true opinions and feelings of the people.
