3. That's a Gallup poll which, alas, cannot be
DUed :) Much different from CNN "unscientific" instant polling. This one usually has about 5-7 point built-in conservative bias (they oversample GOP), and is thus somewhat out of whack with other polls when it comes to Bush's numbers (in low 40s in most but in high 40s in Gallup). Has been that way for years. So for this particular poll, these are not at all bad numbers; quite impressive, as a matter of fact.

5. CNN seems to have some other poll up now
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 11:26 AM by Jack Rabbit
EDITED for typing

I saw on the Crooks and Liars thread that the CNN poll was 51% yes, he lied v. 47% he didn't. Frankly, I find that a little disappointing. As far as I'm concerned, that Bush and his aides deliberately lied about WMDs and the threat posed by Iraq is as firmly established as the fact that the Japanese bomed Pearl Harbor.

6. It the same poll and for Gallup, again
these are good numbers. If more people were quick enough to see the truth, we would not have him for president, so any progress is welcome.

8. I agree however
if the REAL numbers were shown, people would know that there is less of a divide in this country than Chimpy would have us believe. That's important.

7. Many of the Polling Groups Now Serve The House of BushCo.
USA Today/Gallup/Gannett and several other polling groups are firmly in the BushCo camp and I believe that their results are not honest.
