Re: The numbers game

It ain't easy tracking down original poll numbers that haven't been filtered through the media somewhere. I get the impression the poll companies like to sell this info.

For the record, I tend to be suspicious of poll results when I don't have access to the original numbers or questions. I have been polled over the phone a number of times, and can testify that the questions are often loaded, or designed to restrict one to a certain answer, even if a different answer is what you would give.

I did find this, which may be informative.

From the middle of September is shows Bush with a 67 percent approval rate.

Approval for action against Iraq ranges up to 64 percent, depending on various factors such as casualties, allies joining us, and other things.
