Here's what you get from polls WITHOUT Zogby's leading questions:

National Polls Find Majority of Americans Support ANWR Production
Results refute recent biased poll sponsored by activist group

"Two separate national polls released this week show a majority of Americans believe Congress should open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for oil production. These findings come in direct contrast to a Zogby poll released last week funded by the Wilderness Society and other environmental special interest groups."

See http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/Press/releases/2005/0202anwrpolls.htm

And what do Alaskans think?

Poll: Eskimos Back ANWR Drilling

"The last time they were surveyed, Americans most directly affected by a Bush administration proposal to drill for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge overwhelmingly backed the plan. Seventy-five percent of Alaskans told a February 2000 Dittman research survey that they wanted to open up the refuge for drilling, with only 23 percent opposed."

Welcome to reality, Mr. Zogby.

Not that it matters but is Zogby a Palestinian. I remember hearing that once and thought it was a good explanation for why his polls always reflect the leftist ideology.

"Welcome to reality, Mr. Zogby."

Zogby does not live in the real world. It saddens me that America has become a society driven by polls. Polls are run by emotions rather than facts. When people think of drilling in Alaska, they think of the cute little animals losing their homes. What they fail to realize is that ANWR is a desolate place that is barren.

I like to tell people to take the front page of a newspaper and look at it like it is ANWR. Then look at one of the letters on that page. That letter represents the total area that we want to explore for oil. We won't be disturbing nothing while aiding the economy of Alaska as well as beginning to end our dependence on foreign dictators.

But then again, I'm not emotional on this issue.
