They would call it "creative" polling.

A sizable majority of Americans want the Senate to confirm Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, and most call her "about right" ideologically, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Senate hearings on Sotomayor, President Obama's pick to replace retiring Justice David H. Souter, begin in two weeks, and 62 percent of those polled support her elevation to the court. Sotomayor, 55, is currently a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York.
If confirmed, Sotomayor would become only the third female justice and the second on the current nine-member court. But there is no gender gap in support for her, with men and women about equally likely to be on her side...The telephone poll was conducted June 18 to 21, among a random national sample of 1,001 adults. The results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Yeah, and the sample comes from the DC area. They never bother to call anyone in Texas, Kentucky, or Montana.
and most call her “about right” ideologically,
Explains the election of Obama and why we’re screwed.
Most Americans don’t even know who she is....and can’t name their governor.
But they’ll swoon over this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090628/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_jackson
they wrote the headline, then contracted for a poll that would prove it........
Most polls are taken from small samples. They also are more often than not, taken in areas of high democrat population. That is why on most issues, they are not an acurrate assesment of the people.
Even if this sere true, and it’s not, it’s irrelevant. The USSC is not a popularity contest.
“Most Americans” can’t follow the directions on a can of Campbell’s soup.
They would call it "creative" polling.
About right ideologically? I’d like to hear their idea of her ideological views. I would bet that 90% couldn’t articulate her views at all.
gee, when Neda died he went for ice cream.
I give up.
note to self......you have entered the twilight zone,,,,,,what happened to the mj thread?
Let me guess. They polled 70% Obama voters, 5% McCain, and 20% independent.
We need to consider the possibility that the "everybody voting" thing isn't gonna work out.
You mean they actually call people?
It’s stunning, eh? To the best of my knowledge, he didn’t send a note to the families of Farrah F. and Ed M. either. What could be the difference....other than the fact that those folks aren’t “African American?”
