They rig the polls to show a decline in Pres. Bush's popularity, then sample less republicans because Pres. Bush's has low poll numbers ?

Beautiful.

I am glad you caught that. They are shameless in their claims, aren't they? Pretty soon, they will only sample 100% Democrats.

For those who missed it, this is what we are talking about (excerpt from the article):

"Contributing to the fall in Bush's approval rating since January was a slight increase in the new poll in the number of respondents who identified themselves as Democrats.

"Party identification is a dynamic variable that changes with the popularity of the party in control," Pinkus said. "The proportion of people who identified with the Republican Party was higher when Bush had more positive approval ratings."
