On the same question, 56 percent of voters said Bush means what he says, while 42 percent said they disagreed with that statement.

Only 4% undecided? Somehow, I have my doubts about this one.

One of the enduring limits of polls is that while they are pretty good at prediction, which is their primary purpose, they are of little value in understanding what's actually going on.

The reason is that if you ask a random person for an opinion on a subject, you'll likely get one, even if the respondent has never until that moment given the matter any thought, and hasn't the faintest idea what the
issues are.

This is why polling "analysts" like Bill Schneider are such useless frauds. Twenty years or more and he has yet to deliver an unambiguous insight. He and his like are pretending to discern meaning in the meaningless.
