Is This a Bad Poll Question?
"Would you support or oppose changing Senate rules to make it easier for the Republicans to confirm Bush's judicial nominees?"
Believe it or not, this was a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll question. Could the issue be any more misrepresented? Why didn't they just ask "Would you support or oppose the Republicans having complete, unchecked power in Washington?" It makes me think back to PS202 Experimental Psych with Dr. Gladin and how he spent so much time making sure that our questions were as fair as possible.
