The Democrats need to have a poll taken to show how misinformed the public is by M$M

[Bill USA]

given the number of polls and the popularity of the Job Approval Rating as a be-all and end-all rating - I am very frustrated by the fact that these polls are taken without any effort to include questions to establish how well or badly informed the people are who are answering the questions.


Here's a good example of a poll with an idiot question - that is a question of little to no value:

Quinnipiac, in my mind, has established their poll developers are no more intelligent than the people taking their polls.

I think it's time the Democrats paid to have a poll taken to get a measure on how much or how little people know and how well or badly the M$M are doing at informing or misinforming the public (and potential voters).

These questions are just for starters. If anybody has ideas for other questions, I would be interested in reading them.

... oh, and another suggestion: [font size="3"]Please email the WH andor Congressmen to tell them the Democrats need to have a poll taken to shed some light on what facts people know and what disinformation/lies they think are fact - and where do they get their (dis)information from.

... then we can have the very necessary conversation on how badly informed the public is and who is responsible for this sorry state of affairs - it's not ALL Faux News' fault. This will help put some of these polls results (as mentioned above) in perspective[/font]
