1. The Question Wasn't Asked Correctly.... I DIDN'T Vote Because
they used the word "will" as opposed to SHOULD!!

If they had used SHOULD, I actually think the totals would be reversed!!!

I don't doubt he WILL be confirmed!

3. You've got that right
They ought to have a poll:

Will Congress screw the average American this year?

Yes

No

That's much better than:

Should Congress screw the average American this year?

Yes

No

4. should not will--like a lot of polls, worded like a horse race bet
instead of on the substance.
