The poll was clearly rigged to "push an agenda", to use the phrase on AnkleBitingPundits. But I wonder: why does anyone still take polls seriously? They have clearly become yet another weapon in the eternal war.
All the old tricks: underrepresent Republicans, underrepresent registered (let alone likely) voters, questionable geography...was it a weekend poll as well?

I think it is like a contest, a competition of sorts to see who can get the last damn word.
oh yeah....
says who...

AP/Ipsos did this, as well with the poll that showed Bushs' support at only 39%.
AP Ipsos is a French company, and there polls somehow always seem to reflect French public opinion. Odd, huh?
