Majority of Americans also don't know what's really out there.

Majority of Americans thought the Lakers would win the NBA title this year.

Below the article do you see where Haliburton Dicky told Sen. Leahy to F-off. Classy guy that Cheney is.

Oh yeah, and you've never told someone to **** off after they've repeatedly called you a liar, attacked you personally, and basically tried to trash you character. :rolleyes:

That Fox News poll apparently lets undecideds remain undecided.

CNN/USA Today polled during roughly the same period. Unlike Fox, they pushed voters to indicate which way they were leaning.

That turns the horse race into a deadheat, with or without Nader:

Also, keep in mind, these national horse race polls ignore the Electoral College. From what people are saying, Kerry is doing pretty well in swing states.

I posted the war poll because it represents the culmination of a long slow slide in support for the war in Iraq.

My guess: Short of something dramatic -- such as the capture of Osama bin Laden -- a majority of Americans will remain opposed to the war in Iraq war through November.

With that the case, look for Republicans to start bashing the media even harder than they normally do.

That is contrary to what Zogby's poll found. According to it a majority of American's labled the Iraq war as "worth it".

Much of Zogby's poll took place before the 911 commission reported it knew of no relevant link between Saddam Hussein and attack against the United States by al Qaeda.

If you recall, most of the stories about that report started hitting toward the end of that week and into the next. Zogby finished its polling on Friday.

Those 911 commission stories were a big hit to Bush (which is why Cheney was so furious).

It appears to me Bush lost all the ground he gained during Reagan Week.

The misreported, overblown and discredited assertions that the 911 Commission was criticizing the administration over Iraq was released on June 15. The poll was taken right in the heart of the media blitz and it still showed President Bush taking over a sizable lead from the previous poll. He did not lose ground. He gained ground.

Once again, you make up facts.

The Zogby poll was taken June 14-19.

The 911 commission staff report in question was released June 16 -- meaning the weight of the avalanche started hitting on June 17 and thereafter, more than half way through the poll.

Public opinion is a funny thing. It doesn't change instanteously. People learn something new, they talk about it with friends and neighbors, and gradually reach a conclusion.

This isn't worth arguing about. We'll see new polls soon enough.
