I was polled once and the 2d or 3rd question was one which could determine “slant”. I answered it and was politely thanked and hung up on. Makes me wonder what if anything else there was to that poll.

Jenn, I’ve often wondered the same thing. I’ve never been polled, and no one I know has ever been polled, either.

What I want to know is where they poll. No one I know has EVER been polled.

I caught that and actually looked at the complete poll results. If you check out credible polls, 83% respond the "quality of health care [they] receive" is Excellent/Good, and 70% respond "[their] heatlh care coverage" is Excellent/Good. The people who "report" on these polls rely heavily on the fact that no one will read the actual poll questions and results. If you do read them, the omissions from this A-hole's "ANALysis" are glaring. One of my favorites: 15. Which comes closer to your view: Government should do more to solve national problems, or Government is doing too many things better left to businesses or individuals? Result: Government should do more = 34% / Government should do less: 56% Still hoping for a third-quarter collapse of the POS NYT rag, but bailout possibility is Level Orange...
