#1 It is a peer pressure strategy hoping to reverse the dropping poll numbers. Come on, everyone else supports it. Pathetic, simply pathetic.

#2 In the same poll it was determined that 98% of Americans don't want another Hiroshima, 92% of Americans don't want another Nagasaki, 78% think they have a "better than average" chance of winning the Powerball jackpot, and 33% of Americans think that Muppets are alive.

#3 33% of Americans think that Muppets are alive.

They're not. When did they die?

#5 Oversampling to push the policies the leftist media support. Rasmussen does a much better sampling job.
42% of voters nationwide favor the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 54% are opposed to the plan.

The numbers have been remarkably stable throughout the debate. With the exception of bounces following presidential television appearances, support for the plan has stayed in a very narrow range from 41% to 46%. Currently, 24% Strongly Favor the legislative effort and 42% are Strongly Opposed.

Just 36% of the nations senior citizens favor the current legislative effort while 59% are opposed. Support is highest among voters under 30 (i.e. the sucker demographic), the age group least likely to use the nations health care system.
