Bush Poll Not Accurate, GOP Says ("They couldn't hate us that much!")

From GOPUSA.com

(CNSNews.com) -- A recent poll reveals that only 35 percent of adults believe the United States is on the right track under President Bush's leadership. The media, some say, might have contributed to Bush's low ratings, while others disputed the accuracy of the poll.

The phone poll, conducted by Ipsos for the Associated Press from June 6 through June 8, surveyed 1,001 adults, 854 of which were registered voters. Forty percent of those surveyed said they were Republicans, and 50 percent Democrats. The largest age group, 31 percent, was between the ages of 18-34.

"This is a closely divided nation, and the poll does not accurately reflect that," Danny Diaz, the Republican National Committee's Deputy Communications Director, told Cybercast News Service.

When asked if the media is responsible for the public's opinion of President Bush, Diaz said that it is "difficult to glean any conclusion from a poll that doesn't accurately reflect the demographic makeup in this country."

2. Boy, does Diaz have his head up his ass. Those figures are adjusted for

repug math. 1 + 1 = 5 = one presidential election. They are hated even more and it grows by leaps and bounds each day.

4. you guys should know

3. "if the media is responsible for the

public's opinion of President Bush"

Well duh. With a less kiss-ass media, Shrub's approval rating would be single-digit.

7. Oh don't be so pessimistic

I think if the media did their job we could be looking at the first "President" to have their approval rating measured with a decimal point.

[mrdmk]

29. You mean a single digit to the right of the decimal point

:shrug:

[dissent1977]

8. They are exactly right, the poll MUST be wrong

Bush's poll numbers can't be that good.
My guess is he is int he low 30's at best.

10. Don't you love denial?

Changing the reality.

[droidamus2]

11. even my ...

I have never thought this country is as evenly divided as the Repugs would have us believe. They have to keep pushing that idea because it makes it easier to steal elections. If everybody thinks it is close to 50-50 then a couple of points shift is reasonable. If it was closer to lets say 60-40 then it would be to obvious to steal the election. I think the pollsters a just finally getting it right.

12. AttackThe Media

GOP counter attack plan. Further cow the already pitiful media into conducting polls.

13. Those polls were dead on accurate...

when bush's numbers were in the stratosphere though, correct? They didn't question them at all, then.
Yes, you assholes. You've fucked up things THAT BADLY. The Country is FINALLY seeing what we've known all along; that you're the most corrupt, lying, secretive and dysfunctional administration in the history of our Country.
It WAS closely divided at one time, and not that long ago. BUT, that was when a slim majority believed you. They believed your lies. They're waking up now, and the party's over, dick wads!

[Politicub]

14. Let the pukes stay in their bubble

They are so brazen with their bullshit now that even the squissy "undecideds" are waking up.

[wurzel]

15. "This is a closely divided nation"! Really?

"The poll doesn't accurately reflect that". From the way the Republicans have totally disenfranchised Democrats they don't reflect that either.

[Bluebear]

16. Abd Bush insisted he would unite us! What gives, Mr. GOP?

Unbelievable, isn't it carrot?

[gatorboy]

28. Heh!

The way he talks, you'd think that a nation deeply divided is a good thing. :crazy:
Listen to this guy, Freepers, your heroes want us divided!

[Justice]

17. They take a 51 and call it a mandate, use political capital - but

they can't handle one that says clearly, they are on the wrong track.

[kittenpants]

18. with Diebold, who needs polls? n/t

[lonestarnot]

19. Hehehehe.

[Geek_Girl]

20. Why are they complaining?

35 percent of adults believe the United States is on the right track under President Bush's leadership

The ultra rich are the only ones truly benefiting from * policies.

It should be closer to 1% who think this country is headed on the right track. They should be doing a jig with these numbers considering all the shit they've put on the middle class.

[longship]

21. God, maybe they actually believe their own words

In one way that's kind of scary. In another way, that would be a huge liability for them--one which could be easily exploited.

[Cha]

22. WANNA BET?

More than you'll ever know or maybe you will someday..that would be my most intense desire.

[applegrove]

23. The media hasn't reported anything but the facts. They no longer

do investigations & in depth stories on how policy affects people.

This hate is word of mouth baby WORD O MOUTH!!

[Stirk]

24. "It's flawed", said a GOP spokesman, "they polled people who don't matter"

:)

[KelleyKramer]

25. Isn't GOPUSA the Jeff Gannon/Guckert money backers?

Isn't that the group that funded the fake reporter and the far rightwings best loved gay male prostitute??

[dissent1977]

26. yes it is

in association with Talon News

[KelleyKramer]

27. And they question the 'accuracy' of a report???

Hell, you cant even trust their own reporters to give an accurate name.

Kinda dripping with irony and hypocrisy, doncha think?

And isn't their most famous hooker/reporter being sued for multiple counts of plagiarism?
