One by one, Americans are snapping out of their trance. Bush's flock is dwindling, his so-called "political capital" evaporating. Those are the facts. Deal with it.

Woot - avoid the question - your specialty.

Edit to fix your formatting

Yes it creates the news as surly as it creates the polls. Though both were somones idea, meaning someone wanted to do a poll and put it on tv, does that make the poll wrong?

Nope, I didn't say that.:)

Asking for demographics and actual poll questions is not claiming that they aren't valid. But hey - twist away! :roll:

CsG

You are totaly discretiding its vality by calling it a media created story. That without knowing anything about how the poll was conducted, yet now, you know the questions that were asked. Tell me, lets start from the beginning, is it a valid poll?

If this poll is anything like the Washington Post-ABC News poll a couple days ago it doesn't mean much. Bad samples and even worse questions.

But hey- you Bush haters can lap up the "news" created by these "news" organizations if it helps you sleep...

CsG


Ah, did I strike a nerve?

Here's a :cookie: from a severe Bush hater for you to enjoy. Have fun! :D

Nope - just calling them like I see them. Seems I hit the nail right on the head though from what I'm seeing...

CsG

Yea, like you see them in that distorted and confused mind... or whatever is left of it...

TaB

Seeing them from reality. ie: not blinded by hatred.
Try some critical thinking for once instead of just lapping up the story the media wants to tell.

CsG

So instead of believing the bad news, you choose to beleive what? From where are you cross checking these facts?
Reading the bull sh!t off your toilet paper agian?
This is what im talking about.

They aren't "facts" -they are polls. Which means opinions. IF the sample is within reason and the questions are clear and aren't leading then the poll's results should be taken for what they are - opinions. If people don't like Bush - fine - I have never said everyone should like Bush. It also is irrelevant due to Bush not having to be re-elected. He can and will lead without "polls" to tell him which way to go like some politicians need.

HELLO!!! Have you not read a word I've posted? I said "If this poll is anything like the Washington Post-ABC News poll a couple days ago it doesn't mean much."

Without having had the time to read and fully analyse the poll's numbers(instead of the story sound bites) - one can't make claims for or against it - which I have not done but some of you have.

From the beginning - "If this poll is anything like the Washington Post-ABC News poll a couple days ago it doesn't mean much."

yes that is what you said before you knew the questions since you doubted the questions being neutral enough, now that you know the questions, is it valid?

Like I said in the first post, the Bush worshippers would state that these polls don't count. I'm sure that if the poll numbers would have been reversed, their opinions would have changed. They'll deny this, but we all know that is the fact....

Bush and crew are falling like a rock. Probably time for a new terror alert or some other Bushshit idea to fear the people back in line.

sample and questions take more than a glance to Analise. When I have time - I'll read them. Until then - I am not going to claim they are valid or invalid which I have yet to do while others here just assume and lap it up.

And your degree in "statistics" qualifies you to state that this is a fair poll or not?

I think several around here have a few degrees...

BS - Bushshit

MS - More of the same

PHd - Piled higer and deeper

You don't care whether the poll is right or not. The numbers didn't go your and Bush's way and you don't like it - PERIOD!

No you didnt but you are infuring that it is wrong or bias. Read the post with the questions on it.
On another note all you lefties shouls give CAD some credit. Though you do think his posts are wrong, He is keeping up with posts, or a good amount of them. Props for sticking up for what you believe.
Though i do know what your talking about, in this case i think the lefties are right. Polls are going down. Nuff said.

The questions there are very easy to read there, shouldnt take more than a few seconds, hell I have read them and have wasted far more time replying and reading this thread than it took me to find the questions and read them. So I'll give you what.. 10 minutes from now to read the questions and give a propper answer, I think the forum demands that after 3-4 hours since this thread was posted.

I disagree. If he was elected to serve the people and the people aren't happy...this is a very important issue. That being said, there's nothing to do about it, if the people pick him, they have every right to b!tch him out, at the same time live with the consequences, of course there is only one poll that counted.

I agree and my point is are we going to have a thread every week a new poll comes out?
Talking about Bush's low opinion numbers means squat since he won the election and wont be running again.

I get a kick out of the Talk show heads like Savage, Boortz, Baker complkaining about Bush now when they were rabid to re-elect him.

At least the Republicans in here stick by his side every step of the way as they jump off the bridge for him that he sold them.
