Heh! Heh! I found the "poll" discussed in the post below. I clicked on the link for the "complete poll results" (linked below). Guess what? They didn't release the internal data showing how lopsided the Dem oversampling was. That means the oversampling was so ridiculous they refused to release the figures. What's worse - I Googled it - they didn't get the results they wanted, so CNN & practically every other MSM outlet that cited this poll didn't report those undesirable results. No they only reported on the stuff that fit their leftist agenda. The Magical Mystery Poll Posted by Mark Noonan Blogs for Bush Found this bit by Donald Lambro to be rather intersting: <<< But an earlier poll of 1,047 Americans conducted for CNN by Opinion Research Corporation from Aug. 2 to 3 drew a dramatically different response when it asked people, "How well are things going in the country today?" A combined 55 percent said things were going "fairly well" (47 percent) or "very well" (8 percent), compared with those who said "pretty badly" (29 percent) or "very badly" (15 percent). Keating Holland, CNN's polling director, said the question is fundamentally different from the right track/wrong track that other pollsters ask, but he acknowledged that "it is a measurement of how well Americans think things are going in the country today." "Different questions get different answers," he said. >>> It isn't the poll that is interesting - most polls are rather bogus, anyways. No, what is interesting is that until I read Lambro's piece, I'd never heard of this poll. Did anyone out there? Did I just miss it? Seems like I can't open a newspaper, magazine or website these days without yet another poll showing how miserable things are for the GOP...and here comes CNN with a "man bites dog" poll which would be the talk of the town for at least a news cycle and...nothing...as if it didn't exist. It doesn't fit the script...and if anyone out there is still thinking that the MSM merely reports the facts, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. blogsforbush.com washingtontimes.com i.a.cnn.net
