I took a look at the PDF that shows the questions. Not too bad.

But the charts are insane. While implying a linear time scale, take a look at the actual dates.

Skewed time frame? One of the classic examples from "How To Lie With Statistics", much-read in the sixties. Can't remember the author.

Anyhow, I have taken statistical psychology, and worked in polling, both door-to-door and telephone, for 3 years. I know how pollsters can build in bias, just by the way they ask questions, and the order they ask them in. I also understand that Marist is one of the few pollsters who still use LIVE interviewers. People are much less prone to lie to a live person.

Here is the important question to liberals: Can you name one political figure who has a larger, more enthusiastic following than Sarah Palin?
No? I didn't think so!
