Something smells foul in poll land.
Edited on Fri Mar-31-06 11:07 PM by IsItJustMe
About three weeks ago I heard a poll that came out and said 60% of Americans were against the immigration worker program. Today I hear on CNN that a Time poll says 80% are for it. Huh.

Are you telling me that there is 40% of everyone changed their minds in three weeks. It's bull like this that makes me seriously question the msm and makes me wonder who is pulling the strings.

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. And then there is Wolf. LOL

1. Probably Has More To Do With The Question Asked
Like "are you for or against amnesty for illegal immigration"

vs. "do you favor a guest worker program"

2. Psyops....
I don't trust them one bit.

You know CIA has reached into all aspects of MSM, so you just can't trust anything they put out.

I call bushit on everything.

4. I use to buy into it also, but man, you have realy question almost
everything you hear from the msm now days. I've never seen anything like it in my life. I think the msm is in the business of shaping opinion with opinion polls anymore.

3. They are just refining their technique...
on who they ask. Don't forget, exit polling was used to check and verify elections all over the world, until there was a Bush in the election. Thereafter, exit polls are to be considered "useless." So are these immigration worker polls.
