They've got this one right. There are so many techniques that pollsters use to get the results they want. Phone polls are often done in mid-morning when pollsters want to please left wing sponsors because more women will be sampled. Also, men who answer at this time are more likely to be unemployed or students.

Interesting. You'd think by now they could figure out the correct questions to ask, to get Bush's poll numbers up.

The polls are run by evil liberals out to get Bush, that has to be it.

Politicians need polls anyway to find out how good their doing, what is popular, and what they need to do/change to get elected. See polls do have a purpose and are useful.

Bush has no need for polls..unlike Clinton who ran a new poll weekly to see how much people liked him. Bush isn't concerned about it. He is already president...and can't even run again.

And yes...most polls are run by evil liberals out to get Bush.
