Propaganda on guns via poll.

I was watching the Obama News Network better known as MSNBC this morning and they were touting a Washington Post poll that they purported to show that the President had strong support for his anti-gun bill.

Uh.  Not exactly.  Check out a few tidbits...
*The telephone survey of 1,033 adults, conducted Jan. 16-20, found 53 percent view Obama's proposals favorably while 41 percent view the proposals unfavorably.
They surveyed a measly 1,033 people?  That's pathetic and hardly representative.  Additionally they didn't identify the number of Democrats vs. Republicans, nor did they identify where the people they talked to were located.  Did they poll in just New York and California?  Or did they get a sampling from across the country!
The poll found support for the proposals has slipped since a similar ABC News/Washington Post on the same questions this month.
They also didn't state that support for this Draconian gun bill has been falling.

We're up against a propaganda machine and it appears that they will tell any lie, spin any fact, use any tool to win on this issue.

Don't let them.  Call your representative.  Read the story here.

  1. Weee...! Poll war!

    Second one is the data itself. It's only a 1008 sample, so I guess it falls short of the 1033 standard.

    Take care.
