Let's take a closer look at that new poll the Repubs are waving about

[JohnnyRingo]

The one that goes contrary to every other poll in the country, claiming most of us want to stay in Iraq until the end of time.

Look at the rest of the poll:

Question #8 & #9 seem contradictory
They dont see fit to mention #11 much
#13 Doesn't seem to agree with the rest of the poll:


I dont think the wing-nuts would agree with this either:


According to this page, they had a hard time finding anyone young enough to serve in the military. Also, they are mostly well off, earning more than $100,000...or they're liars (My guess):


Finally, why do so few represent themselves as Liberal? Did they take this poll at Republican HQ?
The proper way to list these results is:
39% conservative
39% moderate
21% liberal

Here's a news release from the "unbiased", but appropriately named POS home page:

11.08.06 -- PUBLIC OPINION STRATEGIES MOURNS REPUBLICAN LOSSES, CONGRATULATES MANY INDIVIDUAL WINNERS IN TOUGH RACES

The Republican polling firm of Public Opinion Strategies (POS) polled for the only freshman Republican U.S. Senator, one new Governor, and five new members of Congress. Overall, the firm polled for four winning U.S. Senate races, six winning GOP Governors, at least 46 Members of Congress, as well as numerous downticket statewide and legislative winners.

As they describe their unbiased selves:
About half of our research is dedicated to winning elections. Our political client base includes 18 U.S. Senators, eight Governors, fifty-four Members of Congress, and numerous state legislative caucuses. The other half of our work is involved in complex public policy battles, working with industry coalitions, government entities and private companies. This work extends to corporate image, community relations, and crisis management research for local companies, Fortune 500 corporations and industry associations throughout the country.

When they are required by a client to be credible, they put their pollsters McIntirff/ Hall on it, like in this NBC News Wall Street Journal Poll:

Entirely different results to the same questions...How 'bout that.
