I have never ever EVER been asked to participate in one of these opinion polls...and no one that I know ever has, either. How about any here...did anyone here receive a phone call for this poll? How about any of the other "approval" polls?
I don't trust any of these and I doubt the President pays much attention, either.
I've been participating in Zogby polls for years. I think it started from an unsolicited e-mail (Z probably bought a mailing list from someone). Once they get your e-mail address, you're in for life (or at least until your addy changes!). About half of the polls are only slightly political (one or two questions). The other half are all politics and great fun for a conservative in a blue state. Of course after I throw in my little one vote dissent, Zogby cooks all the numbers with his "special sauce" and presto, my opinion vanishes just like that.
