AP Poll: Voters Relieved by Decisive Election

[Maiden England]

WASHINGTON - Most American voters say the decisive presidential election last week has given them renewed confidence about the nation's electoral system and they're hopeful about the next four years, an Associated Press Poll finds.

At the same time, they feel a sense of urgency about Iraq, their top priority for President Bush to tackle after his re-election, questioning disclosed. Iraq was followed by terrorism among voters' leading concerns.

Voters took comfort from an election that wasn't tied up in the courts as in 2000.

"Anytime you have to wait as long as it the election did in 2000, it leaves people with doubts and a bitter taste in their mouths," said Jim Seaman, a Republican businessman from Summerville, S.C.

They are killing the fraud story before it even gets off the ground...
Also check out the photo for the cover story, a lovely little snap of our new leader looking all religious. Uggh. This was the cover story on my startup web page.

edited to make clear it was an AP poll, not a poll request in the headline.

2. Just what they want us to think.

Time to move on, nothing to see.
Thus AP and ABC complicit, or incompotent beyond belief.

4. what a fucking joke

the only decisive thing about this election was the computer rigging in Florida, Ohio and New Mexico. Folks, welcome to Germany, 1933.

5. who the fuck did they ask?

morans? idiots?

[54anickel]

12. They simply looked at the stock market. To them it is the benchmark for

everything. It equals the economy, it equals public opinion on every f'ing facet of life in the USofA!

6. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Wake me when the Whore Press says something truthful...

7. Voters have been relieved of their democracy...

[SmokingJacket]

8. My head just exploded.

Why all these stories about "what the people think"?

TELLING the people what to think, is what they're trying to do.

10. The new reality

The aide said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,'' which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''

11. What crap.

[robbedvoter]

13. This, on polls from summer 2003:

[Dover]

14. Yeah, this is how they had planned for the story to play out....

but alas, it's gotten a little messy in the REAL world. The "apparent" quiet at the polls only indicates greater stealth, not lack of problems, as anyone who is paying attention knows.
Take your bogus polls and shove 'em!

[Snellius]

16. How many would really say they want a repeat of 2000?

This is another one of those predetermined polls with a predetermined conclusion that only serves to justify some phony feel-good sense that god is in his heaven and everything is just fine.

Call me a East Coast liberal elitist, but they should rewrite the end of the Star-Spangled Banner to "land of the fearful and home of the stupid."

[ET Awful]

17. I'm sure it's a typo, they meant DIVISIVE, not decisive :)

Lyin' sacks of pig feces.

[Algorem]

18. Great Leader very,very popular.Everyone very,very happy.Now kill kill.

19. In other news..Santa Claus was seen at the south pole

thinking it was the north poll:eyes:

[lefthandedskyhook]

21. The pod people feel as directed

The inevitable collapse will deprogram some of them. Economic revolt will undermine the corporate regime.

[prayin4rain]

22. What decisive election?

[llmart]

23. Pure propaganda.....

just like the "morals were the deciding factor" shit they're trying to force down people's throats. And, or course, they're buying it.

[shanti]

24. yep, serve them that shyt sandwich

and trick them into believing that they're eating filet mignon! :grr:

[Sparkly]

25. I didn't see a number for that result...?

Did I miss it? Several numbers (27 percent; seven in 10; etc.) are given, but I didn't see the numbers for the "Most Americans" in the first sentence or the "Voters were generally accepting of the election results" later on.

[EndElectoral]

26. They refuse to even report it, much less investigate it! We are lemmings!

[Mend]

27. Poll-aholic in Recovery

one day at a time, I no longer take polls....clearly they are manipulated to cover-up fraud.

[cubsfan forever]

28. Horseshit! The election was stolen! n/t

30. 51% is decisive?

Far from it my friend.

[bemildred]
