depending on who's doing the asking... and HOW it's asked... and who's doing the analysis... and who's doing the reporting?
Why ANYONE would trust them (even the so-called scientific ones) is beyond me.
Call me paranoid and skeptical and suspicious... but I have more confidence in the yuk-yuk polls from the DU Lounge than I do in any of these other "name-brand" polls.
Am I alone on this? I just can't get all worked up into a giddy when a poll appears to favor my viewpoint, nor can I get all frothy when it goes against my opinions either.
