Zogby is NOT valid. His poll results are for sale to the highest bidder.

This is also my stance on this poll issue - one should try to read the whole story and discover the truth - good luck on that one !Arthur Fonzarelli said:I don't put a lot of stock in any poll - whether I agree with it's results or not.
Polls are just for folks who need their points of view validated.

Polls are tools pols use to guide their decisions and to shape public opinion. All depends on the wording.
Outside of titillation, polls serve no purpose. Polling has replacing factual reporting. Some how it's become more important to know that 15% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Bush than it is for them to understand the issues.
Someone, don't know who, financed a poll about the local Mobil refinery.
Q: Do you think it's safe for the refinery to increase production? Answer Yes, or No.
A: I don't know. What was the refinery's design capacity? Does any proposed increase exceed this design?
Q: Is that a yes or a no, sir?
A: It's a dumb question lacking needed relevant details for an intelligent answer. I decline to answer.
Q: Oh. Are you an engineer, sir?
A: Yes.
Q: I have no more questions for you. Thank you for your time.
Yeah, that was a real poll. There was more than one question, all of them required technical knowledge the common man lacked, yet for some reason, someone wanted a poll of the ignorant masses to swing a vote one way or the other.
They don't want informed responses. The legal system doesn't want engineers on juries for the same reason. We'll ask the questions they don't want. One of the biggest problems in this country is the insistence that an ignorant population is a valid decision making body.

Unlike this left wing leaning forum Americans strongly support President Bush when it comes to wiretapping without obtaining a warrant first........

Americans overwhelmingly support President Bush's decision to wiretap suspected terrorists operating inside the U.S. without first obtaining a court order - and a solid plurality believe those who leaked news of the secret operation are "traitors," a Fox News Opinion Dynamics poll has found.
Captain America said:Unless, of course, they conveniently support your opinion, right?
Newsmax.....:rofl
That's ok though. Everybody does it. And everybody dismisses any poll that doesn't align with their opinion. That being said, I imagine you really do not give too much regard to very many polls.
Go Navy!
