I thought President Bush's answers to the reporters questions were a window into the faith of George W. Bush.

FYI: I posted the following comments on another 'irrelevant poll' thread:


[Why we consume ourselves with polls is beyond me. As many of us have stated MULTIPLE TIMES, the only poll that counted was conducted on November 2, 2004.]


In this article, the President evaluates the current state of polling perfectly:

"Some of them were going up the other day," he responded as he flew back from Rome on Air Force One. "You can find them going up and you can find them going down. You can pretty much find what you want in polls is my point."

CASE IN POINT: Let's use as an example the last time the AP 'need I say more'/Ipsos Reid poll posted similar results:

2/7-9/05 45% approve 54% disapprove AP/IPSOS
2/4-6/05 57% approve 40% disapprove GALLUP/USATODAY
2/8-9/05 51% approve 43% disapprove FOXNEWS

Given the current state of agenda driven/media influenced/methodologically flawed polls and the pollsters who conduct them, at any given point in time, you can find a poll that says anything you want it to say!!!!

Fortunately, we elected a President that doesn't govern based on polls!



Night all!

Thank you, one and all, for the many excellent book suggestions. I've saved them to a Word document and will use this list extensively. If you think of others, please let me know.
