Speaking of a Crazy Poll. Fox just showed a poll USA Today/Gallop
People trust which party to do a better job with Budget Deficit.

Republicans 46 (Ryan's Plan)


Democrats 44


It is obvious they did not poll all Ryan's constiutents
who were letting him have it in spades at the town meetings.

More and More Republicans have had to face angry constituents
and guess what it has been reported some Republicans are
just not having town meetings or are cutting them short.

It is a USA TODAY POll. I stopped trusting their polls
when Bush was running for president. They had Bush winning
VT or NH by 22 points and he lost that race.

It is interesting how Fox either pulled an old poll out
of the file or USA GALLP gave us another outlier.

Are they just pretending all the upset with the GOP just is
not happening.

1. Morning Jerk had a different poll result on today's show
Repubs 44
Dems 36

So, I guess this is progress for the good guys.

2. It would be quite interesting to
see exactly how the question was worded, and exactly what their methodology was in selecting the respondents.

3. That was from the the April 26 USA Today. They also had a
poll claiming people favored Ryan's Budget plan over Obama's.

5. They don't actually do any polling
They just make up whatever numbers will make people listen/watch/buy papers.
