I have no idea what information you have. Having the vapors again, John? Or shall I dig up the fifty previous polls showing that ANSWER is by its own account, a front for the WWP, which is a Stalinist organization that supports Saddam, Kim Jong Il, Castro, and Arafat and the PLO. Now, do you really want me to go through all that, or can you just answer the question, why people seem comfortable marching along "Free Palestine" "Israel = Nazi" and "Bush = Nazi" signs?

Turns out the Times/CBS poll numbers as reported in the NYT Sat were even worse than reported. They did not show you the independents.NRO >>> In a front page story on Saturday, reporters Adam Nagourney and Janet Elder unveil a Times/CBS News poll that finds 70 percent of Americans approve of Bush's handling of Iraq, an increase of 19 percentage points in only 10 days. But the paper of record won't let it rest there. Most of the story talks about "deep partisan divisions" surrounding the conflict. And this just in: According to the Times, Bush enjoys far greater support from Republicans (93 percent) than he does from Democrats (50 percent). This alleged political division is even more intense when it comes to the president's overall approval rating: 95 percent of Republicans favor the Texan compared with only 37 percent of Democrats. What Nagourney and Elder failed to report from that very same poll is that independent voters strongly favor Bush on the war (65 percent) and approve of his overall performance (66 percent). They didn't mention this once in their story. As we know full well, it is precisely these independent swing voters who now determine elections in America. Yet, in their infinite wisdom, the New York Times chooses to ignore this fact. If the Times' reporters had dug a little deeper, they might have reached the conclusion that what the poll really shows is how isolated the wartime Democratic party has become. On war, Democrats fall 15 points below independents in their support for Bush. On overall approval for Bush, that gap widens to an astonishing 29 points.<<< REST AT:http://www.nationalreview.com/kudlow/kudlow032503.asp
