I don't understand your insistence on this issue.

Are either you or I an expert pollster? No.

But I'm willing to bet that if a new poll came out using a completely different polling method, conducted by a well known Fox news pollster and paid for by Ann Coulter, that showed that Bush actually had 60% approval ratings, you and I could come together to agree that it was absolute bull****.

In both cases, it's a poll conducted by a person who's ostensibly qualified yet highly partisan, paid for by an even more partisan purpose, done using a new method, and incredibly far outside the boundaries of every other conducted poll.

So why the different treatment for this poll?
