I just got polled by Gallup!!
It was about a 15 minute interview where I got to grade Bush and the Iraq invasion and the economy and Homeland Security!

First time this has ever happened to me.

I was called for the first time in 46 years about three weeks ago. I guess they're just getting around to us!!!

5. Good job!!!
Looks like there's been a nasty reaction to Duyba's speech!!! Everyone expected some kind of apology or 'oops!' or something. So much for the 'responsibility administration!'

4. I was polled...painlessly.... by Zogby
on Sunday AM.........about 30 minutes....on every conceivable political or national policy subject. I enjoyed it....a chance to shoot my mouth off to a captive audience!

11. Yeah.....it was fun
Everytime I was asked a question re:a Bush policy and given a range of options......I'd say "STRONGLY DISAGREE" almost before the questioner had time to finish the question! Actually..........it's not so funny, is it?

7. Is it weird that they're polling DU'ers
I've never been polled in 50 years.....should we be flattered or paranoid? Is it just a coincidence or are polls more prevalent?

LOWEST grade offered. Interesting, when the pollster asked me about the $87B for Iraq and I said "$87B" at the very same time he did, he told me that most people knew that figure real well.

Looks like folks are paying attention.

13. One Caution
Less reputable polling firms -- such as the President's own :evilgrin: -- may misidentify themselves purposely to boost their response rates. It's at least unethical to do so and possibly illegal. But it happens.

In other words, would you answer: "Hello, I'm calling from American Survey Research Associaties, and I'd..." (Click.)

So don't assume it's Gallup or Zogby.

14. My Caller ID
said "Gallup Poll"

Since it was thorough and professional and the questions were straight forward, I am assuming that it was indeed Gallup.
