Let em soak. Ive been thinking about these endless polls and I think conservatives have largely stopped taking part in them.
I mentioned this yesterday. But my sister was polled, and she said the questions were designed such that even though she supports Bush and will vote for him, she knew some of her answers would reflect against him in the polls. So she refused to be polled. (I can't remember which polling company it was.)
Most alarming to the strategists running Mr Bush's campaign is that 54 per cent of the 1,000-plus likely voters surveyed by Zogby this week said they thought the country was heading in the wrong direction.
Now what does that question mean?
Some conservatives who will obviously vote for Bush think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Some think we're not being tough enough in Iraq. Some think our resolve is softening, and that to me is definitely heading in the wrong direction.
Ambiguous poll questions can be manipulated to mean whatever the pollster wants them to mean.
