1. You really care what the people who watch Lou Dobbs think? nt

[Clarkansas]

2. The 28% are the same 28% who approve of Bush

So I would say the 20% positive is pretty good for Obama.

3. This is like quoting an O'Riley poll as factual

Straws everywhere! Grab one!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. And that would be the poll on Lou Dobbs' website

which probably does not attract a very representative sampling of voters.

5. LOL. a lou dobbs poll.

[Kittycat]

6. Lou Dobbs? LOL.

7. This is the opening for Lou Dobbs to enter the race.

:woohoo:

[EFerrari]

10. The rumor is the Clintons are courting him!

[Bicoastal]

8. Oh, come ON! We should care about an Internet Poll?

I'm sure it's already been Freeped to inaccuracy.

9. The CCC has spoken!

lol

11. Closer then their usual results

where it's like 90% on one side. :)

[MoonRiver]

12. 50% said it made no difference.

28% said it had a negative effect.

50 + 28 = 78 Not in the 90's but up there.

This internet poll doesn't mean much, obviously, but a lot of people who watch his show respond to it.

[southern_dem]

14. No I agree

I'm not a regular viewer of Lou Dobbs, but the few times I've watched it's some lame question like "Should the federal government do more on securing the border" where 97% say yes. This is actually a decent and interesting poll, thanks for sharing it. :)

16. Welcome!

:hi:

13. Darn straight. I don't care what or who endorses ANY of the

candidates. Any intelligent person SHOULD THINK THEY KNOW WHICH CANDIDATE IS BEST..Are they to be so easily influenced by a know nothing politican, governor, etc.

[emilyg]

21. Yep.

[ErnestoG]

15. ...and then Lou Dobbs called the MIGRA on them

[jackson_dem]

17. Only a small percentage of the population will be influenced by this

The poll means nothing. It includes rethugs. The folks who will take Kennedy's endorsement into account are some progressives and with that group it definitely helps him. It will sway some undecided progressives. Some, not anywhere near a big majority. It definitely is a plus for Obama, though.

18. Oh dear!

You mean everyone isn't sucking this stuff in?

[ShaneGR]

19. Really, aside from all the issues, I don't think any endorsement means much this late

The vast majority of people have already made up their mind who they're voting for. Endorsements are more powerful on the local level imo, mayors, unions, etc.

[madrchsod]

20. the 28% think barrack is a mexican

[ErnestoG]

22. 72% believe that Jesus appears in a peanut butter sandwich....

23. All CNN polls can be voted in endlessly.

They have no meaning whatsoever.
