CBS/Schieffer citing polls now: 77% believe Bush speech good

[linazelle]

WTF?

[high density]

1. Sample: 15 people in Utah

Instant polls like these are crap.

[tridim]

2. CNN at 48%

Diebolded again.

[msongs]

3. doh. american idol is the top rated tv show. there ya have it. nt

[WCGreen]

4. He called his brother, the ambassador and asked him if he

liked the speech....

[hopeisaplace]

5. ok. that's nuts. I don't believe them.

[qanda]

6. I can't even believe they bothered to report that crap.

[rodeodance]

7. well, so much for polls

[SPKrazy]

8. As Far As B* Speeches Go

It was smoother than most

He didn't propose anything terribly radical

I still can't stand the little bastard

but I can't say it wasn't a "D-" speech as opposed to his usual "F--" speech

[janx]

9. Give it a week...n/t

[peekaloo]

10. Hmmm. ABC mentioned prior to the "speech" that usually 75% find it

good.

Karl is a busy boy.

[rodeodance]

11. only good --not very good or excellant?

[Gabi Hayes]

12. Fuck that miserable toady Schieffer, and the hoor Borger

did you see his "interview" on Sunday?

despicable, unctuous, sycophant. he revealed his true colors. how on earth did the dems EVER agree to allowing him to moderate the "debates?"

[NYC Liberal]

13. LOL, wait a week, wait a week

They're always high you know, MINUTES after the speech

[deutsey]

14. We can trust these instant polls, Schieffer, but we can't trust exit polls

:shrug:

[BrotherBuzz]

15. Poll taken at RNC headquarters?

:shrug:

[Zen Democrat]

16. I'd be interested in seeing the numbers on how many watched the speech.

It was, after all, just lies and boring rhetoric. Keep the tax cuts. Let him continue to spy on Americans. The Medicare drug bill is great. We are WINNING the war.

Same shit, different day.

[redherring]

17. The delivery was better than his usual style.

The message was same old same old.

[deadparrot]

18. Don't be surprised if he gets a bump.

Don't be surprised if he doesn't. But still...don't freak out if his numbers go up three points.

Presidents usually get a bump after the SotU. Americans like to feel good about themselves, and the SotU is the perfect opportunity for it.

[upi402]

19. Lie to me, Mr dress-up Army plane driver guy.... (USA to *)

Americans must love the flavor of bullshit.

[Not a robought]

20. What happens when you ask 100 people if they watched spy chimp talk

and 4 people said yes. It's possible 3 people thought it was good. There's your 77% (+/- 2% polling accuracy)

[XOKCowboy]

21. Yet in this CNN poll...

How do you think most Americans are facing the future?

Hopeful 19%
Worried 81%

[LiberalAndProud]

22. Interpreting the polls.

77% of the people watching who voted
and the polls got freeped
and they are lying to all of us
and we think they are telling us the truth
when they tell us that 99% of the world loves LittleBush*

[Misskittycat]

23. The only people who could stand watching the speech were repukes.

Therefore, the sampling would necessarily be skewed to people who either like Bush or are so politically unaware that they don't know how odious Bush really is. I heard some time ago that these types of speeches disproportionately draw an audience predisposed to like them.
