Wrong Track - 67%/Right Track - 30%I am sure that Tim Russert and the weekend pundits will have this poll front and center. Fake but true. Yet another reason the MSM is becoming antiquated as we speak, I mean type.
Bush Approval Rating - 60% Disapprove/37% Approve
Who Do You Want To Control Congress - 47% - Democrats/36%- Republicans
Sounds bad, huh? Well, as we've said before you (and the GOP leaders) shouldn't use these polls as any kind of indicator as to what could happen in 2006, which is certainly how the MSM will spin it.
But here's what you won't see in the news stories. - the demography of the poll respondents
First, only 79% of respondents were even eligible to vote, and there's no indication of how many of them actually went to the polls in 2004, and the turnout among registered voters who turned out in 2004 was only about 65-70%. So it's very possible that a whopping 45% of the respondents to this poll didn't even vote in the 2004 Presidential election, which means it's highly unlikely they'll turn out for a mid-term election.

Polls got you down? Relax.
Hat tip to ABP. They have debunked the last few bogus polls using the demographics the pollsters use to show the results for what they are, meaningless. If I took at poll at the Yolo County Republican dinner asking the same questions would my results be scientific? No. Neither are Zogby and AP.
