CNN poll today--this week's top story
CNN

It's running 32% conjoined twins to 46% WMD intelligence. :( People are so clueless.

1. Is the weapons story at 46%?

That is not that bad. The other way around would be worse. You didn't mean weapons 32% twins 46%, Did you?

2. But Bush's trip doesn't interest hardly anybody.
The intelligence story would have been higher rated if they'd called it Bush's lies on WMD.

Kinda wish the overtime story rated higher. People don't yet get how bad it is.

5. HA! I thought the overtime rule change was some sports issue!
Doh. Of course. LOL, well that just goes to show how polls can fool ya.

I agree that 46% is reasonably ok on the WMD, but I guess after the 90's it was running the past few days I got overexcited.

7. I wanted to vote for the overtime issue
as it is really a kick in the teeth to Middle America...I voted WMD's.

The overtime issue is going to sneak up on folks like a migraine headache. I have been telling people for months but they all reply,
" Oh, they won't let that happen." Well people don't assume any responsibility to speak-up nor do they realize "they " outnumber them and are rammming this thing thru..... In the long run, it will wake up many and inspire them to vote against bush* in 2004 if it passes the Senate.

What really burned my voting registration was that Gepthardt was in Cinncinati Ohio at the National Machinist Convention pandering their vote instead of being in Congress to vote against it.....What kind of asshole message is that? I want your vote and endorsement but don't expect me to do anything to protect your livelyhood! To top it all off, the Union has endorsed him? Are people delusional? I hope the union members understand this.....

Enough said...I'm babbling....

3. Be positive
Human interest stories tend to have a grab on people, but this time the actual story is also polling well... the other two choices in any other circumstance should have been up there too.

Presidential visits are a big deal, but notice very low in the food chain, kind of you went to Africa, so what?

The changes in OT rules should have, could have been a very important story, will get traction when people stop getting their overtime.

4. Look at this picture!


Headline: Bush backs CIA chief.

THey're gonna change it, surely. The picture makes Tenet look much better than Bush.
