John Zogby thrills us with his acumen
Bloomberg:
U.S. President George W. Bush's public approval rating remained in negative territory after a nationally televised address on Iraq, a new poll has found.The poll by Utica, New York-based Zogby International reported that 43 percent of those surveyed approved of Bush's job performance and 56 percent disapproved. The poll of 905 people was taken June 27-29 and had a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.
[...]
John Zogby, the president of the polling firm, said the results indicated that Bush's June 28 speech failed to allay the public's fears about the conflict in Iraq and didn't improve his standing.
Ummm, hmmm.
Pray tell, you duplicitous jackass, how does a poll conducted from June 27-29 account for the impact of a speech that ended at 9:30 p.m. EST on June 28?
And Bloomberg reports this crap as news?
