Try polling a 51-48% Rep to Dem split and get that result then we will talk. Having to oversample the Democrat respondents by 1/3 to manufacture the outcome you want is propaganda NOT sound Methodology.

And spare me the self serving nonsense "well more people are Democrats now" Political Identification changes slowly. People rarely switch more then one in their lives from Rep to Dem or vice versa. Calling up 500 people asking them "what are you Dem or Rep" just means YOU called more Dems, not that more people ARE Dems. The PROVEN ratio to use is Election results. But if this is done the Junk Media doesn't get these dramatic headlines to hype and exaggerate that it wants so of course they cannot do be HONEST. It's Market Share, NOT Intellectual Honesty that drive these weekly polls.

Simply amazing that the same American people who can be so utterly cynical about Commercial Advertising are so hopelessly gullible when it comes to Ideological Advertising with a phony "News" or "Poll" label slapped on it.

Just exactly right Johnnie! As soon as anyone says or writes "according to the polls" I laugh and ignore anything else they say or write.

Iraq is a main reason for Bush's low approval ratings ....

I am sick of hearing this as well. IF there is another reason for the President's low poll numbers, it is certainly NOT Iraq!

This propaganda piece is disgusting.
