A poll I find interesting....
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 07:58 AM by renie408
Before I even write this, YES, I know that internet polls are not scientific. NO, I don't think they indicate anything concrete. But I do think that when a certain websites polls have run one way for a REALLY long time and start changing, something is up.

This morning AOL has a poll on their front page which has the 'favorable/unfavorable' views of Palin nearly tied. Last week they were overwhelmingly pro-Palin and McCain. This poll was taken with an article on Palin's church trying to 'pray away the gay'. So, maybe gays 'du'ed' the poll, but AOL tends to lean pretty much right. It makes me wonder if some of the TRUTH being told by CNN is actually leaking into people's brains.

1. AOL polls faithfully lean right.
I think this is worth a second look. :hi:

2. I thought so, too. I know you get smacked for mentioning internet polls here
but AOL is always so far right, it depresses me. I was startled that after 250,000 voters, Palin broke about even between positive and negative.

3. Doesn't AOL also have McLoser
leading or winning all 50 states on their polls?
