Polls are natorious for the poller to be able to influence results by selecting the right wording and the right target audience in order to achieve their desired results. That's why I only look at polls from major established news sources which have a reputation for fairness and accuracy.

Always ask who paid for the poll, who conducted the poll, and what their agenda is.

No, ask what their methdology was and what questions were asked.

BTW, the question on highjacker was posed by knight-ridder news services, who according to their corporate site publish 31 dailies across the US.

Don't know who they are or what their editorial stance is, but they seem vaguely respectable.

I wasn't going to bother doing the google search for this, but DD's comment riled me up a bit. I know what I've heard recently and I know where I've heard it. It's been referenced at least a dozen times on major television news/commentary shows.

Polling is such a crapshoot, I usually don't bother paying any attention to them. Plus, most of America is stupid anyhow. Think of the millions that watch Survivor, Fear Factor, Joe Millionaire, The Bachelor, etc... I really don't give a sh1t about what these people think because they're generally retarded. And all of their world news comes from Rupert Murdoch's Fox, Ted Turner's CNN, or whatever sensationalist TV News Source comes on after their reality shows.

Instead of doing that you could have bothered to type "poll Iraq hijackers" like I did and scroll through 10 or 20 entries to find a reasonably credible source.

I hate when you have to do extensive Google searching to prove some jackass is wrong.

Well, at least DD has the decency to thank you for all the work you did to enlighten him...

Too bad you never found anything from any other period than 1996.

Because it doesn't exist.

I was well aware of what you were referencing at first glance. And in my opening statement acknowledged that. But you seem to think that providing a specific instance of something is as odious as requiring a full bibliography on where you get this information from.

You should check the last link I found. It was from before the 1996 Secretary-General elections even started and specifically mentions the French policy of opposing non-French speaking candidates. Please keep up the bullshit though; it amuses me greatly...
