Don’t matter whether the reported results please or displease you their value is questionable at best. Besides,
continual polling is geared more toward shaping public perception than toward measuring it. It will take a lot
of conservatives to reverse the —bad-for-America— policies of this administration. Two big snow storms in
two months and record low temps in the Northeast and Midwest. I just came in from two hours of shoveling
at least three feet of global warming from my driveway. Sorry, I just don't believe any of these clowns.

Yep, everyone can cherry pick those results. The question I never see is whether they think McCain/Palin would have done a better job.

The only people who can answer this question are those who can compute the number of "saved" jobs.

Yeah, the government really should have waited until the economy was irretrievably in the crapper before they did anything about it. It worked so well for Coolidge!

I had to snopes that one and it turns out it's true. BUT, kinda not if you read further.

Hey, I'll take the global warming. We only got less than an inch of snow here in W. Mass. yesterday, and have missed out on a lot of the storms this season so far. It was even warmer here than places south of here during the cold snaps tha hit places like Maryland and Virginia last month.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Obama is handling [health care]?

If that is actually how they asked the question, then what meaning can you get from it? If I was asked this question, I would say no.

I like his ideas, but I certainly don't think he is doing a good getting them pushed through.

Then some pundit will take the results and say, "See! Americans do not want health care reform!"

And you can pretty much apply that to all of the [item]s.

[Mac1337]

Of course if the answer was yes you'd be the first one to claim the country is behind his health care reform, although one does not even exist.
