Comments: So many polls
Yeah, I often feel that frustration with polls. I mean, if someone asked me 'do you approve of the way Bush is handling foreign policy?' I would say 'no,' but for vastly different reasons than your rank-and-file Democrat would.

You will find that those type of responses more or less even out. Still, it would be nice to know for sure.

How about the fact that most people think an approval rating is a zero-sum game? The news doesn't ever really make it clear that a 45% approval rate does not mean there's a 55% disapproval rate.
