MSNBC online poll

worth taking. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4119644/

1. Newsweek ought to be concerned about the poor job

the media are doing. Take a look at the % of respondents who STILL think that Saddam Hussein had a DIRECT role in planning etc. the 9-11 attacks, despite NO evidence of this.

3. Actually, it wasn't worth taking.

It was worth my time to send the following:

MSNBC: Objective news, or political manipulation?

I have to say that this question on today's poll indicates a lack of journalistic integrity:

"Which of the following Democratic presidential candidates do you think is MOST likely to defeat George W. Bush if nominated? "

You did not include all of the democratic candidates, so I had to vote "none." Because you did not include the democratic candidate I feel is most likely to defeat GWB. Your question is not about who is most likely to win the primary; it is about the general election. There are nine choices on my ballot who could go up against George W. Bush in November; you left out 4. Choosing to "leave some candidates behind" manipulates public perception and skews your poll results.

4. 49% STILL believe Saddam involved in 9/11?

un - FRELLING - believable!

[Bad Thoughts]

5. Where's Dennis?

And why don't they use this question:

With which Candidate do you want to party?

[Philosophy]

6. They still haven't fixed the obvious typo I emailed them about

On the question:

"In general, would you like to see George W. Bush re-elected to another term as president, or not?"

The percentage voting "No" under Newsweek Magazine is listed as 9%, when it appears it should actually say 49% in order to make the percentages add up to 100% as they do for all the other questions. I would like to believe this is an unintentional error instead of a poor attempt at pro-Bush propaganda by "accidental" censorship.

8. How about the other typo

re-elected

[Nay]

7. Polls like this make me mad. Where the hell are the rest of the

Democratic nominees?? How hard would it be to put them in??

9. What an odd little "mistake"

on the results page:

"In general, would you like to see George W. Bush re-elected to another term as president, or not?"

Newsweek magazine results:

Yes: 45%
No: 9%
Don't know: 6%

Assuming the yes and don't know figures are correct, it seems as if the 9% for no should actually be 49%.
