Other Poll results

I signed up a few years ago with the Harris Poll, or more correctly "Harris Interactive Inc.", but still, it's a child of the Harris Poll. Anyway. It is a fun diversion and I suggest signing up yourself if you like taking polls - also every time you take a poll you get points that you can redeem for stuff. It just takes a loooooonnnngggg time to earn enough points to redeem for anything worth having. I digress.

Okay. Today came another poll. Actually, yesterday, but I blew it off. They sent it again and I took it. Most of these polls concern potato chip packaging or tooth brush ads, and every once in a while, movie trailers. Again, digressing.

The poll was about politics. I gleefully gave Shrub low ratings. The came a very interesting question "Why Should George W. Bush be impeached?" it had a large area for comments. I filled it up. There were more questions, more or less on how I felt Shrub and the admin was doing and what I felt about the effects of these policies were on the country. Wow. At the end they said "go here for results", it didn't turn out to be all the questions, but some. I was shocked at the answers.

Has President Bush done a better or worse than you expected when he became President?

Better - 32.60%
Worse - 67.40%

How would you rate the overall job that Pres. George W. Bush is doing

Excellent - 9.20%
Pretty Good - 26.50%
Only Fair - 21.30%

A Lot More - 14.8%
A Little More - 20.50%
About the same - 31.00%
A little less - 16.30%
A lot less - 17.50%

Should the Federal Government spend more or less money on public schools?

A lot more - 51.00%
A little more - 24.10%

This one I found very interesting.

A little more difficult - 22.00%
About the same - 29.60%

A lot easier - 3.40%

These remain on line and updated for a month and I will be checking back.

Go sign up or just take the weekly poll -
