Ever since the 2003 primary season, the notion of political blogs conducting or commissioning their own telephone polls has flickered to the surface every now and then. A few months ago, Impeach PAC became the first blog to actually go through with it, raising enough money to commission Zogby to run a poll on impeachment.
That was really cool and impressive stuff by Impeach PAC, but now here at MyDD we are going to take things at least one step further. As our first move in what we hope will become a semi-annual series of netroots commissioned polls, MyDD is going to commission a comprehensive nationwide poll that will ask twenty questions that most polling firms, especially those attached to commercial news organizations, seem unable to ask themselves. This poll will include:
Several well worded questions on impeachment, all drawn from questions that were asked about the impeachment of President Clinton in 1998-1999.
Several properly phrased questions about Iraq and withdrawal that go beyond the false choices many polling outfits seem to ask at the behest of the Bush administration.
Several well-worded questions on Bush's unwarranted domestic spying.
In the extended entry, I have included a draft of some of the questions I wish to ask. The purpose of this post is to ask you to critique these drafts, and to offer your own questions for possible inclusion in our first poll. While I need particular help formulating the questions on domestic spying, you do not have to limit yourselves to the topics I listed above. I am still shopping around for the polling firm with which I feel it is best to work.
