Online poll at WLS AM in Chicago re: NSA & phone records.

May 12, 2006 9:22AM PDT

As of the time I voted, the results of the poll where:

Percent.....Category
..59............I have no problem with the activity
..27............My concerns about security outweigh privacy
...8............I'm somewhat concerned about the activity
...5............This bothers me a lot.
...2............No opinion

I have summarized the actual wording of the categories.

Another losing Democrat/Media issue.

Online polls are NOT scientific, KP.

First and foremost, they suffer from the same problem as the infamous poll that showed Alf Landon trouncing Roosevelt in 1936, due to a telephone poll. of course, only the prosperous could afford phones then, so the result was skewed to Republicans. So it is with online polls today!

There are reasons online polls aren't accurate ...

... but the notion that they are skewed to "prosperous Republicans" is absurd.

They merely reflect what real people are saying and thinking

Most polls are not 'scientific' DK. They usually produce the results that their sponsors wish to see.
