Rather than jump to cheap shots, use some logic. Are you suggesting that ABC rigged its poll to show support for President Bush? Actually, it's more likely that support for W on this is much higher, given the anti-Bush bias of most polling. I'm not suggesting that the poll numbers are rigged. I just think that it's ironic that a large contingent of Freepers jump on the poll bash bandwagon whenever a poll reports results they don't like, but "good" poll results are accepted uncritically.

It's not a question of whether polls are inherently good or evil; it's a question of which you trust more: a poll, or the voices in Chris Matthews' head.
