What The News Media Won't Tell You About Polls(Selective Spin) The Florida-Times Union 1-26-99 Tuesday, January 26, 1999 Story last updated at 4:52 p.m. on Monday, January 25, 1999 PUBLIC OPINION: Selective poll citing Government by public opinion poll seems like a good idea to the White House because the healthy economy has President Clinton's approval rating up, which they construe as evidence of public support. Less enthusiasm might be in order if the White House went a little further. Clinton proposes letting the government invest the Social Security retirement funds of workers in the stock market. A poll says people don't like that idea at all. Will Clinton drop it now? Also, despite what the network newsreaders say, surveys showed little ''bounce'' for the president after his glitzy State of the Union address. People continue to give Clinton low marks personally. In one poll, 57 percent of those who approved of the president's job performance also favored his impeachment, censure or resignation. From the start, many have urged him to resign. This includes a long list of newspapers, liberal and conservative. One pre-impeachment poll found 58 percent wanted him to resign if he was impeached. But he did not. If he did? Most told pollsters it would not be a major upset in their lives. His replacement? Given a choice between Elizabeth Dole and Al Gore, most people polled prefer Dole. Should we call off the 2000 presidential election? If the White House thinks that government should listen to the people, why doesn't it? For non-commercial, fair use only. freerepublic.com
