In lieu of a vanity post, and because this topic is about rigged polls, I offer this question from today's (11/10/04) Zogby online poll for subscribers:

Which of the following statements comes closest to your own opinion - A or B?

Statement A: The country is deeply divided and the President and Republicans in Congress need to make some compromises with the Democrats in Congress to try to bring the country together?

Statement B: The President and Republicans in Congress won a mandate from the people and they should go ahead with their agenda regardless of what the Democrats think.

Needless to say, I chose "B", but look at "A". Why do the Republicans have to compromise with the Democrats? Shouldn't the losers be more obliged to compromise with the winners?

Shouldn't the question be more properly worded "Should the Congressional Republicans and Democrats both make some compromises to bring the country together?"

Norm-Norm, the question was skillfully worded to appeal to & hold of the Liberal-Socialist brainstem.
And I think the quisling Zotbee did a masterful job.

Shameless & pandering, absolutely.

...but masterful.

I took that poll today, and I was struck by several of the questions. Very slanted!
