Looks good for November, doesn't it?

As I said in the post where you objected to noise and spin, it is too early to tell. Did you check McCain and his approval rating during the Obama/Clinton debates as I asked you to. He reached his all time high during that time.

This is a PRIMARY season......with an incumbent President. Whatever you read has got to be clothed in that perspective because there is historical facts on approval ratings at this time versus election results.

Again, it may be all Dem...may be all Rep....it is too early to tell and the polls today on the GENERAL election are for amusement only.

and looking at polls is like looking at the world through a straw.

A poll could be taken regarding what one saw when looking at the side of an elephant through a straw. The poll would report the world appears to be totally grey to the majority of those who took the poll.

Political, primary polls are about as meaningful. The results of polls usually don't tell how many participated and especially out of the possible statistical population involved. That would blunt the media's ability to make banquets out of ham sandwiches!!

btk

The Gallup organization has been around for many years and do very scientific polls. If it were a poll done by another organization such as FOX, I might be seeing it as you do, but I trust Gallup.

Again with the FOX...WOW..you dont give up...you are bound and determined to give a "shot" with every post...can you not just discuss politics. NOBODY questioned Gallup...NOBODY questioned YOU....everyone has different views and they do it without the little "shots" like your constant and ongoing fascination with Fox.

Even I have to say that FOX has some of the best looking lady commentators on it.

Did You mean superficially good looking. I would prefer to get my news from brains.

Amazing when some posters have no substance, they turn to Fox News. I suppose that is what keeps them (Fox) #1 in the world as far as viewers so I suppose they dont care !!

Buggy, the quotes from my post are from your Gallop poll link. Can't make it any clearer than that. It is from your link. I didn't have to do anything but read beyond the headline. It was the information you provided from Gallop. Very, very reputable. I agree.

November looks as though it will have good results, doesn't it?

LOL, yeah, whatever Buggy. November is going to be good, God willing.

Richie:

You showed the article from the Washington Post, but the Daily Sun's last paragraph stated that the program was funded by I.C.E. - Immigration / Customs. I trust these people and I know for a fact that they are on OUR side, no matter what is asked of them.

If you think my posts are lengthy maybe you need to address some A.D.D disorder problem, or you can just not read them.

If you think them factually distorted, you can challenge my my ideas, instead of taking the time to compose a blatant insulting post, as you did.

Rude?; you read your own insipid post and talk to me about rude.

Well said Richie. For anyone that did not know you, you would get an applause for your response alone. Well done. Maybe MrMark has read some of your posts to make the determination. I am only guessing so no offense meant.

Would that be like trusting your priest just with blind faith.
