The poll, conducted the night after Palin accepted the second slot on the GOP ticket at the party's national convention in St. Paul, Minn., finds that 55 percent of all Americans said the Palin pick makes no difference in their support for McCain
"Her rhetoric sounded very, very much like what I'm used to hearing from Republicans," said Seaburg, who, like others interviewed for this article, participated in a previous Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Very good find Jamie. Its yet another example of the way the MSM manipulates the truth, to help further democrat agendas. I hope people wake up before they dominate the government too.
What amazes me is all the otherwise intelligent people, who turn around and say things like, "Hey thats how it is!" or "Its ok, Fox does it too!". Are we here to deny ignorance or perpetuate it? Sometimes I'm not so sure.

Jamie, Jamie, Jamie! You talk about incompetence, while at the same time demonstrating to all of us the extent of your knowledge of statistics. Quit while you are ahead man! Of course you can always enroll in a statistics course at your local community college (after you meet the basic math requirements of course) or University if not offered at the Jr. College level and learn how polling is done and what + or - 4% really means.

You can say that they should have said "of all Americans polled...." but the Americans polled, represent All Americans based on the science of stats.

And ya know what? These polls are usually correct. Not 100% but they usually get it right. Hence we put faith into the polls, despite the low numbers they use.

You're wrong. More Republican propaganda as usual.
