That's more like it.
Smart Democrats, like Hillary, are jumping on the Bush bandwagon. Other Democrats are still comparing Bush to Hitler.
Funny how Dean for the resignation of someone who calls the Dems "The party of Lynn Stewart," which is accurate, but no one calls for the resignation of a Senator who once again plays the Hitler card.
Leave it to NYT to ignore differences between age brackets when polling on social security issues.
Any genius could figure that out by looking at the election results...the ones that think this, didn't vote for him...
The NYT should probably take note of the one poll that counts - the one last November, in which Bush got more votes than any president in history.
It's kind of annoying to observe the media's more or less constant attempt to manipulate both government policy and public opinion with obviously selective polls.
Judging by the content of the paper, The NYT apparently assumes that the inhabitants of the city that bills itself as the "Center of the Universe" are not very bright.
LOLOL....yes, and the President sees the election slipping away from his as Kerry soars in the polls.
In further news it's 1938 and President Roosevelt's belief that Japan and Germany are a serious threat to the US are damaging him in the polls. He's out of step with mainstream America on this issue.
SS is gonna collapse whether mainstream America wants to hear that or not.
New York Times Poll says Presidential Candidate John F. Kerry is a Sure Winner.
BONG!
Not out of step with me. I called C-Span about 5 years ago, during Bush's 2000 campaign, to ask why we weren't hearing more from the press about Bush's plans to reform Social Security.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Once again, the NYT demonstrates the left liberal fallacy of "if I FEEL something is/should be true, it IS true."
Meanwhile, back on the planet Earth, the world is finally getting it, notwithstanding the latest fake-but-accurate Jayson Blair/Dan Rather poll.
How biased/invalid is the current NYT/cBS poll?
1.) This poll posits a job approval rating for the President 3 points below other polls taken during and after the NYT polling period -- and these other polls also oversample Democrats/leftists.

[Special Note: The NYT job approval ratings for the President are actually UP from last month (+5 vs +3) and the FoxNews approval ratings tie those posted in November and exceed ALL other ratings since last January (04) . . . Yep, the President is fading fast <sarcasm off!]
2.) This poll uses push polling techniques that BEG the response sought by NYT. Read Patrick Ruffini's insightful comments about the politics of SS polling at "Personal Accounts: Victory is in Reach"

I could go on and on and on, but work beckons!
Women and children hardest hit.
Yes, the breakdown of the poll was 37% democrats and 29% Republicans. No bias here, move along...
De polls boss! De polls!!!!!!!
According to the polls, we should now be discussing the priorities of President.....(choke!)....(puke!).....(shudder!) Kerry.
Polls have no credibility-no credibility at all.
What the NYT fails to realize is that they have lost credibility with an appreciable amount of their shrinking circulation and with a more than appreciable amount of the voting public. Thus, if the NYT publishes a poll that says "X" many automatically assume the opposite must be true. This is a perfect case.
The President is going to get what he wants. Why? Because nobody knows exactly what he wants yet, he hasn't specified it, allowing him to stick his foot in the water judge the temperature and adjust accordingly. Hell, Mr. Bush has not even begun to push Soc. Security reform yet and has barely taken this to the public. Once again the NYT and the Dems have misjudged the amount of goodwill this President has with the voters.
That's more like it.
Not a loaded question, eh? Besides, I thought the SCOTUS ruled long ago that there were no guaranteed benifits.
And 45 percent said Mr. Bush's private account plan would actually weaken the economic underpinnings of the nation's retirement system.
The only economic underpinnings to SS as of right now are the backs of the taxpayers.
I wonder if polls matter to the NYT when it involves gun control, affirmative action, prayer in schools, abortion, vouchers, etc.
Well, I could look at the details of the poll, but the headline tells me all I need to know. They conceptualized a headline they'd like to see be reality, than push polled to get the result.
Yeah, umm, I didn't fall for this during the election and I'm not about to start doing so now.
Bush is so out of step with Americans that he received 51%-52% percent of the vote. I'm curious. How many subscriptions can the N.Y.T's boast? How many viewers does CBS have? Someone's out of touch but it isn't the President.
*sigh* I had a long comment about the bias dripping from each sentence here... but who hasd the energy anymore?
Oh and isnt the NYTimes the same paper whose staff is 85% gay? Maybe Gannon can go work for them- oh wait- the only GOOD gay is a LIBERAL gay
Can someone please post that picture of the guy holding his head and saying..."NOT THIS SH** AGAIN"!
