Actually the number is 57% support paying more taxes for health care reform.

Just anothercase where reality differs from FNC's desire so they just made it up.


Thats one poll. As I said the other day, a yahoo online poll was 88% no, and a Fox poll was >90% no.


I was at a Grateful Dead concert once where 85% of the people supported the legalization of LSD. So I guess, obviously that means the overwhelming majority of the American people believe LSD should be legal. Right?


Which applies equally well to DKs poll. AFAIK yahoo online does not attract a particular political demographic, so your GD example doesnt hold water there.

Only 85%?? There's something fishy here.

Did you just claim an online poll was more accurate than a poll conducted by NYT/CBS? You claim to be an economist so your statistics knowledge should be up to showing where you get that claim from.

Well, 12% were too high to understand the question, and 3% were surprised to learn that it wasn't already legal.
