How ridiculous is this?

Polling Report ^ | June 18, 2006

[bad company]

Pretty much tells you who is answering these surveys.

[Ptarmigan]

Don't trust polls.

[MineralMan]

I guess it means that not everyone ranks Carter as the "worst President." Such polls are meaningless, because most people could not tell you a single thing that Carter ever did.

[Qwertrew]

I once read somewhere that when Kennedy died, he entered "the blameless house of the assassinated."

[Arkinsaw]

I guess it means that not everyone ranks Carter as the "worst President." Such polls are meaningless, because most people could not tell you a single thing that Carter ever did.

A great number of respondents did not live through the hell that was the Carter administration. I wish those answering this question favorable would be placed in a time machine, go back, and have to live through it.

Polls are created and skewed to get certain results to fit a specific agenda. Polls are junk. Worthless. Useless. Garbage.

[grapeape]

This is a clear example of the power of the mainstream media. If you look at the long term ramifications of the policies they implemented, then you can not look at these numbers and know that there is a concerted effort to skew the public toward democrats.

[Freedom4US]

Polls are bought and paid for affairs, they get the answers they want. Generally if public sentiment coincides with the "correct" position, they will be trumpeted loudly. If not, they will be manufactured to meet requirements.

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

As ridiculous as JFK's rating! He did cut taxes and started NASA, but he bungled the Bay of Pigs and did little else that was good. Of course he was much better than Jimmy.

[mhx]

84% of the respondents approved of JFK -- that must mean that most conservatives did. Assuming of course that they are taking an unbiased sample of the population.

[gakrak]

Jimmmmmmy 61% but they only polled left wing extremists and Iranian radicals. Amen.

[kitkat]

I'd like to see what the polling questions were. For example, was one of them, "Which former president has most frequently attacked President Bush's policies, both here and abroad?"

[Polybius]

Such polls are meaningless, because most people could not tell you a single thing that Carter ever did.

[Flightdeck]

JFK is also one of the worst presidents our country has had.

[Freedom4US]

They are not "worthless" insofar as getting legislation and laws passed however. They are part and parcel of manipulation of the worst sort. Humans have a herd mentality and don't like to be outside of the mainstream. The trick is in getting the vast majority opinion holders to somehow believe they are a tiny minority. In that the social engineers have been wildly successful. Polls are designed for this purpose.

[Kaslin]

It sure does, and most likely those who were not around when the peanut was president or were way to young to vote or remember him

[Freee-dame]

Pretty much tells you who is answering these surveys.

Even more so, it reflects what the respondents have "heard, read or been told". With schools teaching that America is an oppressor nation, what can we expect. sad

[conservative in nyc]

Such polls are meaningless, because most people could not tell you a single thing that Carter ever did.

That may be because Carter didn't do a single thing worth remembering as President. Stagflation, malaise and failed hostage rescues aren't things people want to remember.

[Kaslin]

If JFK were alive today he would most likely be a conservative
