    In the off-years he’s an “industry analyst”.

    I knew it! He’s at the corner of Love Me and Love Me Not, when he should be at the corner of Live and Learn…

    This is how the Rasmussen polls got started.

    He must work for either Faux Noise or CNN – or maybe MSNBC ( in the interest of political parity ).

    Try ANY pollster. They’re all pretty much frauds. Try to get your head out of your liberal echo chamber for a while, eh?

    I used to work at one of the Big Polls — except for the few months before an election, most of the people who were willing to answer a survey were doing it because they were angry about something.
    So I wan’t surprised by the recent polls claiming “68% opposed” health care reform. (Probably more like 34% in reality.)

    As a matter of fact, the last poll i saw that i felt i could trust (i forget which, though) showed a small plurality in favour (by about 2%, probably within margin of error).
    .
    Also, on a lot of polls, the question is phrased to ask if you approve of the law as it stands.
    .
    Which gets a “no” from people who approve of the idea but don’t think it goes far enough.

    I have quit answering pollsters because too many have questions designed to make their cause, candidate, etc the “winner”.

    That’s right. Listen to the questions.

    Each time I have been polled most of the questions appeared to be leading questions designed to elicit a desired response.

    I hate polls or questionaires that ask the same question twice, in two different ways so you end up giving two different answers.
