A warning about that Zogby poll the Examiner is hyping
November 17, 2009 9:05 pm ET by Oliver Willis
The conservative Examiner newspaper is hyping a new poll from pollster John Zogby that purportedly shows that 43% of respondents would support the re-election of President Obama. The poll was commissioned by Brad O'Leary (author of an anti-Obama book called "The Audacity of Deceit"), who has previously comissioned misleading polls to push an anti-Obama agenda.
Zogby was recently caught pushing a racially charged poll question asking if the FCC should ask "good white people" to step aside for African-Americans and gays.
In February, Zogby pushed out an anti-stimulus poll with some extremely loaded language.
With that kind of track record and pedigree, Zogby's work should probably be treated with healthy skepticism.
Should good old white and Christian conservatives attempt to cooperate and work with radical liberal, and sometimes communist, blacks?
Those who fall prey to these dirty tricks are at fault for the rise of such scumbags like Glenn Beck...
When will educated, rational, reasonable people be looked up to? I am tired of these fear mongering idiots who command national attention.

Did you expect otherwise? lol
[remember; Rasmussen was THE pollster who NAILED the final results just prior to Obongo's unfortunate election]
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Thursday, November 19, 2009
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
By a 3-to-1 margin, voters believe that tax cuts will create more jobs than additional government stimulus spending. Most also believe that canceling the rest of the stimulus spending will create more jobs than spending the money that’s been approved. On both topics, the Political Class disagrees.
Only 18% believe that our legal system is too concerned about national security at the expense of individual rights. Thirty-nine percent (39%) believe there is too much concern about individual rights.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove.
