Poll favors Miers' withdrawal

PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. public, by a small margin, was more pleased than disappointed with Harriet Miers' withdrawal as a Supreme Court nominee, a new poll shows.

Results of a special CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Thursday night indicate those who favored her withdrawal were mostly concerned about Miers' qualifications and her closeness to President Bush, rather than her ideology.

Those questioned who were pleased outnumbered those who weren't by 42 percent to 35 percent.

Those questioned in the poll indicated that Miers' withdrawal was only a minor setback for the president, or no setback at all.

2. What's the margin?

What's the margin of error?

Who was polled?

What was the exact wording of the question?

What's the level of confidence?

And for what it's worth, when did a 7% margin become "small" and not "significant"? Since the standard margin of error in political polls is ±3%, it's outside the margin of error, and is therefore significant.

3. I wonder if Miers is made of Berber, 100% wool, or

a blend of rayon and polyurethene. She is obviously a door mat for Shrub. No self respect. She is going back to be counsel again? Which leads me to really believe this was a setup.
