That MSNBC poll WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who wants to bet THESE results won't be cited on Scarborough Country or Hardball

29854 web site responses

The percentages in blue represent the results of the national poll, not including your response.

The poll was taken July 10-11, 2003 and had a +/- 3 percent margin of error. 1. Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?

5. This week the bipartisan panel investigating September 11 complained that federal agencies were not cooperating fully or quickly in providing information relevant to their inquiry. Do you think this lack of cooperation is motivated more by:

1. Those numbers reflect the LATEST poll...
Versus the MOST RECENT previous one, right?

:wow: WOW!

That's nothing short of STUNNING!:D

And it's also what happens when it--finally--dawns on folks that they've been BLATANTLY LIED TO! :mad:

Oh, well, there's no doubt that Dub REALLY EARNED this one...here's hoping, in the lyrics of the late, great Steve Allen, that "This could be the start of something big!" :eyes:

B-)

2. I believe
the numbers on the left represent responses to their internet poll and the numbers on the right are from the Newsweek poll. Same questions, different methodologies:

3. Sorry, those numbers on the left reflect
the people on the internet taking the poll compared to the Newsweek sample (ALWAYS RIGHT-LEANING!!)}(

Sez I, after bursting your bubble, take a look at the re-elect numbers in BOTH polls!! And there are several other places where Bush falls on his nose, even among the chosen Newsweek people.

4. Somewhere between these 2 sets of numbers lies the real
sentiments of the American people...somewhat less than MS-NBC, cwetainly more than Newsweek.

5. I love those numbers!!!!!!
The ones that ask what issues they would vote on. HEHE
Anyone can beat Bush on the economy issue. Clark is the best candidate for the terrorism/national security. Guess that is like what 70%+ of the concerns ritht there. : )
