Default Speaking of polls

They don't give the demographics for this, but just for the information
of creatures like ArKLyte, see:

I am impressed, why isn't it being talked about on our national news

Because you can vote as many times as you want, for starters.

You are right, I just voted for the second time. I really wanted to believe
this was an accurate poll. However I do not believe the national polls that are
telling of the great support for Bush either. I am not seeing this support
here, on the radio, amongst my co-workers (mostly Republicans) or any place
people are talking. And they do claim to be scientific.

But I have read of representative polls which have asked the same
question in european countries who is the biggest threat.

In Germany the result was about 55 %
an Great Britain it was about 70 %

being the USA.

That's true, and the disclaimer below is extremely important, but the
site reports close to 700,000 votes cast and 12% of them indicate they
fear the threat of countries other than the USA.

I think that's the perception many of us have - if so many of the people
we know, even among those we might expect to be Bush supporters, do NOT
appear to support him, who are the pollsters asking? (And we reach the
unhappy conclusion that perhaps they are rigging them to get the results
the administration WANTS them to show?) When I posted the link to the
TIME poll, I SAID it did not give the demographics, and obviously you
can vote nore than once. But does anyone seriously think that, out of a
total of 670,000+ votes, people voting more than once can account for
87.9% of that number? (The majority may not be quite that overwhelming,
but it's certainly food for thought - or should be.)
