Default OT--Rasmussen: Bush at 43% approval

Two months 'til the mid-terms. Plenty of time to hit that magical 50%.

You do realize why these polls are senseless, right?

I'll give you an analogy. Let's say you want to find out about Americans'
thoughts on adults having sex with 10 year old children. You write some
valid survey questions, but the population you select consists of 50%
convicted child molesters. Do you suppose the results might be questionable?



Polls are quoted by the winners and dismissed by the losers. Somebody
believes in them enough to keep paying for them.

True, but completely irrelevant. Thanks for playing, though. The monkey at
the door has a case of Mrs Paul's fish sticks for you.
