Have you seen the poll reported on CNN "enthusiasm" of Repug/Dems?
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 10:18 PM by Gloria

I forget all the numbers...but Repugs are supposedly MORE enthusiastic about voting for Bush since July, why Dem are LESS enthusiastic about voting. Something like a 9 point drop....

Of course, it doesn't say when the polls were done, etc.....

And Kerry has something like 32% on Terror, Bush way ahead on Iraq, too.

Still unbelievable!

Maybe the "new" Kerry campaign will change opinions....

7. You wouldn't have to be "flipping through the channels" if you had been...
...paying attention to the numerous DU threads discussing the various polls in regards to which polls are based on solid data.

One more point...I never get "snide". I post exactly what I'm thinking with no punches pulled. If you don't like plain-written posts, too bad.

Deal with it.

8. Which is exactly why I mentioned that there was no info given on

"when the poll was taken, etc." and took a dim view of what Americans were being shoved. I wasn't "flipping through the channels" on the prowl for polls, either.

However, when I see it, I report it, to add to the list of propaganda to be exposed. By the way, I watched nearly every "pundit" show for about a year and half for Buzzflash for the Media Watch...so I'm pretty practised at observing the bullshit on cable.

Furthermore, I worked for Gallup when it was still Gallup as a study director, when it was still a real polling company. I worked with Andy Kohut at Gallup, who is now with Pew. So I perk up when I see bogus or suspect polls. And, by the way, I managed to notice all the discussion of polls over the last months. And I speak to someone intimately involved in polling nearly every day.

Don't make assumptions esp. when you don't read the whole post.

6. CNN is dangerous

Everyone knows Faux News is right-wing propaganda, but the idea still exists that CNN is objective, or even Liberal.

In the end, CNN is more dangerous than Faux because its victims are susceptible to brain-cleansing. Viewers of Faux are Right wingers and Liberals just keeping tabs on the enemy.

I watch CNN and email, but caution must be exercised.
