An Amazing AOL Poll
I've been an AOL user for years, and their news coverage/slant has always been tremendously positive for *, particularly with how they frame their polls and the images they use to support *.

You really have to check this out from AOL today. I'm still in shock. Here's their poll, and here are the results so far:

Did Bush tell the truth before the war?

63% He lied to cover a hidden agenda 18,404
18% He said what he thought was true 5,132
13% Yes, he laid out the facts very clearly 3,799
6% Still trying to figure out what happened 1,718
Total votes: 29,053

Why are we in Iraq?

44% Oil and money 12,703
20% To finish what Bush Sr. started 5,770
19% Fight terrorism 5,375
11% Overthrow a dictator 3,054
7% Beats me 2,064

Do you trust the president?

54% Never did 15,719
26% Yes, he's honest 7,446
14% Not as much as before the Iraq war began 4,010
6% Not sure, let's see what happens as events unfold 1,849

Total votes: 28,966

4. This is great, but...
these AOL polls are questionable. I remember when the WH was hammering on Syria, there was an AOL poll that concluded that more than 20% of respondents thought Syria was a major threat to the US.
