Oh the gallup poll was only done with adults
Edited on Tue Mar-30-04 09:03 AM by demdem
Not likely voters, not registered voters, but adults. I wish they would tell us that before reporting these polls. What does it matter what adults think since 54% of them wont vote. This is why Zogby is a better poll, he only polls likely voters.

These results are based on telephone interviews with a randomly selected national sample of 1,001 adults, aged 18 years and older, conducted March 26-28, 2004. For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum error attributable to sampling and other random effects is ±3 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

1. Its good to know that that clueless 5% or so
probably won't vote. Good, they don't need to if they're that clueless.

2. I still get upset when I see it all over the news (I accidently was
clicking the channels and saw it) and then I see it first thing when I sign on today. It's touted as though he doing great and it makes me sick.

4. It's good that they report these results.
It makes us work harder.

Also, our best bet will be if moderate R's, with a distate for what the * administration is doing just stay home. I think that it's a good bet that this election will be won or lost on turnout.
