Did you read how those poll questions were phrased? It was unreal. I figured they were slanted, but they were completely unbelievable. There is an article by Michelle Malkin that discusses this... worth reading if you haven't seen it already.
As with most polls, they were carefully worded to get the response they wanted. Most people in this country only give half an ear to the news and will agree with the slant "Katie," "Matt," or "Oprah" give to the story.
