A new pet peeve of mine is the manipulation of polls. To hear them ballied about by the media as unbiased results is very frustrating and eye opening.

The AP Poll Sample: 50% Democrats, 38% Republicans, 12% Independents


The CBS Poll is no better. From NRO

NOT SO FAST, CBS [Peter Robinson]
In a new poll, CBS has discovered that the President's approval rating has fallen to 35 percent. Examining the data, Dartmouth's Joe Malchow has in turn announced that the CBS poll is virtually worthless. How come? Whereas 25 percent of the respondents were Republicans, 35 percent were Democrats.
