4. Ha, ha, ha!

That's my "professional opinion."

These people still thinks they have "credibility"!

[Ivan Sputnik]

5. It's all in how the questions are phrased

Without knowing that, this is meaningless. What does "appropriate" mean?
How many think that ALL inaugurations are a cause for celebration? How many who liked Bush's speech actually heard the entire thing?

10. Right, for example,

the question about the festivities being appropriate gave no context, but the reported results added a clause about war:


Question and numbers only result:
Do you think the festivities surrounding today's inauguration were appropriate or inappropriate?
Appropriate Inappropriate No opinion
........60%..........32%...........8%
(2005 Jan 20)


Reported Result: "Despite some controversy this past week over whether it was appropriate to have such a gala while the country is at war, 60% of Americans said the festivities were appropriate; 32% disagreed."

12. Nice!

That's their "rationale" and the way they frame it.

[Dawgs]

6. My best guess is that they asked those that watched it...

Well, if that's the case then no shit!!! I don't know to many Kerry voters that were dying to watch it.

[Dawgs]

7. These fucking polls are really starting to piss me off...

I think this is a new form of journalistic reporting by the right. Ask some misleading questions, then spin it as truth. The stupid American public won't question the meaning they put on it.

This country makes me sick.

[RaulVB]

8. Correct.

The media apparatus feeds the regime.

THE REGIME GIVES THEM BACK FAT REWARDS.

11. I'm thrilled. sigh... n't

13. well now wait - - -

perhaps we should have had Gallop do the exit polls? Or maybe Gallop has just yet to balance the results of their poll with the "official result".

Why do you suppose they love to use these polls so much and spout their results when it is in their favor but any that paint them for the liars they are - are totally discredited. Better yet, why does it never occur to mainstream Americans that this might seem a might bit suspicious?

14. gallop was with bush all the way thru the campaign.
