Oh god.

A majority of Americans polled see improving military security as President Bush's only major first term achievement, and confidence in his ability to use military force wisely and handle an international crisis has slipped since his first inauguration, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.

Still most see him as an honest, trustworthy and strong leader, believe he has a clear plan for the economy and think he will improve education and moral values in his second term.

The survey released Tuesday was conducted Friday through Sunday in phone calls to 1,007 adult Americans; it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Oh, yeah, that's reliable. I wanna know who voted in this poll.

*sighs*

How so?

[ex-chaos-by-699.livejournal.com]

Since when does "improving moral values" fall into the job description of President?

Maybe people are just in denial and don't want to admit that they re-elected a crappy president.

Since the fundies took over. Welcome to Gilead....

How not??

Let's just start with the whole budget thing, it was starting to crash at the end of Clinton's last term. And what he was actually doing when he had a shot at taking Saddamm out of power.

I have more, please don't make me pull out more.

Because the President is supposed to be looked on as an example for the rest of the nation and therefore needs to comply with the common moral standards of how people think he should be.

Where are you getting this? *is curious*

[conuly]

Well, he doesn't anyway, but otherwise... why, exactly? Do other countries run this way?

[ex-chaos-by-699.livejournal.com]

Do other countries run this way?

Not that I was aware of.

[deathchibi.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering what they were using when they polled these people.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I disagree. Please provide references. Please reference facts, not opinions. Are you of the opinion that this is Constitutional?

How not?

Ever heard of opinions? I'm sure you have; all your comments here have been based on them.

Now, grasp this: they can differ from person to person.

[neurotica0.livejournal.com]

Oooo, can I metaquotes this?

[azuresunglasses.livejournal.com]

Thats almost as scary as this morning, when I heard that there was a town on Pennslyvania that voted to teach creationism as a viable alternative to the Darwinian Theory.
Apparently 61% of Americans believe that creationism is real.
*dies*
(Disclaimer: I only heard it on the news, I can't vouch for the numbers. It can't be *that* high.)

Sure! XD

ID, not creationism. I posted about it a few days ago.

[neurotica0.livejournal.com]

Done. (http://www.livejournal.com/community/metaquotes/2389963.html)


It's my first time quoting.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

Congrats! ;)

I must admit I'm not particularly imclined to believe 1000 (sorry, 1007, that's so many more) people can be taken as representative of a population of 294 million, but maybe that's just me.

Re: Noticed this on QOW...

[nobodysangeltbd.livejournal.com]

LoL That's true. Sorry wasn't trying to offend, this just happens to be a topic that I get into a lot of arguments about with people who don't have any reasons for their arguments.
But, each to their own. *shrugs*

My responses w/sources are incoming, they will be a bit slow as I am at work and have to pull info off a system that's a few states away.
They're slow, but they're coming. lol
