Tom cherry picks.

My main point is that Polls in general are just a distraction of the central argument. Polls are also not proof either of our rightness or wrongness in this war, nor is it proof of the threat caused by Iraq, nor is it an adequate response to questions of accountability raised by the aftermath of the war, and the now undeniable facts.

Quoting that out of context, however, gives you yet another red herring to shop around.

( But to fillet the herring: the Zogby is to 600 in just four cities. the Gallup is just in Iraq to under 1500 people... so yeah, my criticisms of these polls as a touchstone for 'truth' are largely accurate... Even as polls go, they are pretty inconclusive)

Earlier, when you had posted links, you must have posted the wrong links, cause I sure as hell could not find any methodology.

Tom, this is a lie. Everyone here on the Zone knows that I follow up your data whenever possible and post my reaction as needed. You know this too. I think you are attempting to grandstand for your audience.
