Progress, I suppose...

3. Geez, this shows how actual polls are not very accurate!

Look at some of the difference between the Newsweek poll and the online poll:

In general, would you like to see George W. Bush re-elected to another term as president, or not? * 1344 web responses

RESPONSES WEB Newsweek Magazine

Yes 14% 45%
No 84% 9%
Don't know 1% 6%

84% is a pretty big number! Newsweek still shows about 1/2.

This is my favorite

Do you think the Bush Administration purposely misled the public about evidence Iraq had in order to build support for the war? * 1343 web responses

RESPONSES WEB Newsweek Magazine

Yes 82% 41%
No 15% 51%
Don't know 3% 8%

So when you read the Newsweek poll, you would think 51% don't think we were misled.


Very interesting results if you ask me.

6. Well..

It looks like primarily Kerry supporters have found that poll so far (it is linked from an article about Kerry).

7. The newsweek mag one has numbers that don't add up to 100

weird ...the online version all seem to add up to 100.

11. Bush* benefits from typo yet again

They obviously "accidentally" left the 4 off the "No" response percentage on the Bush* re-elect number.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it seems that every time there is a typo in some reported poll numbers, it always seems to favor *.

9. HUGE difference in Clark's numbers

Between Web & Newsweek Mag:


Which of the following Democratic presidential candidates do you think is MOST likely to defeat George W. Bush if nominated? * 1564 web responses

RESPONSES WEB Newsweek Magazine

Howard Dean 7% 12%
John Edwards 9% 7%

All the same 1% 1%
