3. polls like this should be exclusive to NO residents

How the fuck does someone in Wisconsin or Tenn. truly know how good the response was????

[WildClarySage]

4. That is really disturbing. Were these people watching the same

news reports I saw? How can only 45% respond "poor", without an "other" option, write-in "fucking pathetic"?

[lady lib]

7. Yeah, where is the "fucking pathetic" choice, anyway? nt

5. *shakes head* The nation is still ignorant

[lady lib]

6. Interestingly, 51% of Republicans said fair or poor.

Awakening from their slumber... ;)

8. Who are the 12%??

future developers? There can't be that many.

9. now there's a badly designed poll

only one negative response, two positive, and one which would be more likely to be considered positive than negative. bad, bad fucking design. or good design, if your agenda is asscovering rather than discovering the truth.

12. 12% Excellent?! Rasmussen must have a direct phone line into...

the White House, to poll aids and staffers. Rasmussen sucks as much as FOX NEWS.
