It's kinda fun watching the CNN pollsters scrabbling to help Bushco.
Take yesterday for example.

First they ran this question:
Do you approve of President Bush’s handling of the Iraq war?

Even after a major FReeping effort, with a quarter million votes in, the results stood at

Yes 26% 65356 votes
No 74% 186837 votes
Total: 252193 votes

So these results disappeared and they switched the question:

Which word best describes President Bush's speech?
Reassuring
Uplifting
Worrying


Even though 2 of the 3 possible responses were pro-Bush, they got even worse results:

Reassuring 15% 846 votes
Uplifting 7% 416 votes
Worrying 78% 4545 votes


At this point they gave up the ghost. These results too were "disappeared," and a new question showed up about Putin and the missing Superbowl ring.

It must be hard being a corporate whore pollster these days.

2. I'd like to see this poll
Did President Bush and his administration lie about the following:

A. Their complicity in 9/11.
B. The reasons to bomb the hell out of Iraq.
C. That the incarcerated at Gitmo are all terrorists.
D. All the above.
