Outside CNN's Atlanta headquarters, staffers react to the latest poll numbers showing most
Americans are critical of president Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina. (crAP)

OK, further analysis. They did NOT ask if local or state governments "could have done more." Also, vast majority rejected the notion the hurricane was caused by global warming. Most said it was a "random event."
Question on the how the poll was conducted. By whom, how was it weighted by, race, political leanings, party affiliation, have you a grasp of the facts, and is the MSM your primary source of Katrina information. If the last question was affirmative, discount any and all results of the poll.
So it was conducted over one day, asked if the President could have done more, and oversampled Blacks that are majority Democrats and still 33% of blacks didn't buy the line of racism? Given nationally we only got 11% of the vote it seems this push poll revealed a weakness that NPR/PEW didn't intend to highlight.
This is very sad on behalf of the Dems/PEW/NPR. Apparently 33% are separating from the usual jesse jackson line.
Polls are stupid, nothing to see here, move on.
Man, those GALLUP numbers yesterday must've REALLY pissed off NPR. :)
One of the Pew family favored Evangelical causes and a sector of the foundation spent some money well helping Evangelicals get college scholarships and the like. But aside from that effort, the Pew Foundation specializes in left wing political manipulation. They should have had their tax exempt certification yanked for the huge role they played forcing McCain's idiotic campaign finance reform through congress.
NPR played a big part in that campaign, too. Pew and NPR are in each others' pockets.
Everybody could have done more. What a BS poll. It does not square at all with the one conducted by Gallup - not even close. Do the Democrats have to concoct facts to fit their prejudices?
Yes, Bush could have done more. No, that doesn't necessarily mean he should have. Did it occur to these people that "the more, the better" is not the best motto for every level of government?
Whenever these weasels call I ask how long the survey is. They usually say something like 15 minutes and it ends up being 20-35 minutes, so I have since told them I don't have that kind of time. I don't know many hard-working conservatives that do.
Stop public funding of NPR and PBS now!!!!!
Trying out my sporty new tagline...
Great, so the MSM continues to tell itself lies and then to believe the lies. Nothing new, just another polatorial in support of the Great Liberal Circle Jerk.
This is depressing. It shows the media that their efforts are working. Chrissy Matthews will be gleeful.
How much are they paying the White House PR staffers. I hope they are volunteers because they are doing a crappy job.
Ahh..nothing like a good push poll by a left-wing funded group for a left-wing taxpayer-funded network to get the results that the Left wants because the real polls don't validate their psychotic visions.
Where did they take this poll? At the Superdome? At the hotel in Las Vegas where the cops are vacationing?
Oh please. Why do they get a nickle of taxpayer money ?
I don't suppose they asked the obvious follow-up question: "What should he have done that he didn't do?"
This poll included an oversampling of African Americans to ensure there were enough interviews for reporting results in that demographic group, we got the results we wanted the center said.
