Arggggggggg! These guys just get my BP up w all the talk of these Polls. WHY doesn't Timmy give the info behind the polls, such as who was sampled (more Dims that Pubbies), the slant of the questions, etc. We all know the MSM asks questions to get the answers they want to bash-Bush some more.
Notice they never quote the Rasmussen polls

Sunday January 29, 2006--Forty-nine percent (49%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
It is not clear whether this uptick in Job Approval over the past three days is a lasting change or merely statistical noise.
The President earns approval from 81% of Republicans, 23% of Democrats, and 40% of those not affiliated with either major political party.

January 15, 2005--The latest Rasmussen Reports poll measuring perceptions of the War on Terror highlights the power of a Presidential speech to create a bounce in public opinion.
Today, 44% of Americans believe the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terror. That matches precisely the level found on the two days leading up to the President's December 18 national address. However, a survey conducted on the two days after that speech found a 6-point bounce--50% of Americans believed that the U.S. and its allies were winning. That bounce has now faded.
However, there is also evidence of some lasting impact. Just 26% of Americans now believe the terrorists are winning. That's down from 36% over the past four months. Rasmussen Reports has polled this question more than 70 polls since early 2004. Only twice has the percentage who thought the terrorists were winning been lower than 26%
With the exception of the poll immediately following the speech, the current data presents the most optimistic assessment of the War on Terror since last February.

Push-polling, MSM style - Why NYTimes earnings, circulation plunge
A New York Times/CBS poll purports to find that support for the president's warrantless surveillance program is "mixed." But the poll is bogus. In addition to the usual MSM trick of over-sampling Democrats, including non-voters, etc., the pollsters asked misleading questions that do not reflect the actual nature of the NSA intercept program.
Of late, all these polls look like joke. Fox Opinion Dynamics poll is no better. It is the same democrat's firm doing polls for Newsweek. In it's latest Fox poll, Iran attack is supported by 51%. But in LATimes(!) poll 57% show support for the same. An added joke, Fox asks what type of attack they support - air-strike, ground strike etc.
Another poll about Gallop's Hillary support 51% against. When Mathews asked about it, Dana Milbank (WP) & Ann Kornblut (NYTimes) both questioning the way polls conducted saying, it is unreliable and mean nothing. 'nough said.
The other night, on Hairball...poor Chrissy had to report on the poll that came out showing that only 16% of those polled would definitely vote for Hillary...and 51% said they definitely would NOT vote for her...
Dana Milbank and another guest, and Chrissy all wrote the poll off...saying it was too early for a 2008 POTUS poll...blah, blah....
LOL
