That's for sure Tony

Polls are highly misleading and while I don't hesitate to use them for a quick cheap shot, I expect to get called on it and I don't hesitate to point out the same to anyone that uses them on me. For instance when speaking of USA worldwide popularity we must subtract the 50% who think we eat babies or somesuch.

Polls are however a proven tool for predicting elections within 1-3 percentage points (worthless for close calls) and this discussion is mainly about GWB's popularity and his re-electability.

Are you still getting the tiny (thin) reply box with Netscape? I mainly use IE but I replaced Netscape with Mozzilla and it works fine. You should try it. The interface is almost identical to Netscape.
