Gov. Paterson is going for a Record

Last month it was reported by multiple news exigencies and then relayed by me that Gov. Paterson approval rate was less than 30%. It looks like Paterson refuses to stop until he sees the bottom. UPI.com reports that Paterson's approval rating as of May 4th was 19%.

NEW YORK, May 4 (UPI)


-- New York Gov. David Paterson's job approval has sunk to 19 percent, seven points lower than a month earlier, The Marist Poll indicated Monday. Paterson's popularity has plummeted so far that 51 percent of the poll respondents said they referred his scandal-plagued predecessor, Eliot Spitzer, including 50 percent of Paterson's fellow Democrats, the pollsters said.

While 66 percent of respondents said they believed Paterson was working hard, 66 percent also agreed he "does not have what it takes to lead the state" while only 28 percent described him as a good leader.




I don't think he can get reelected when the sample would prefer a former Gov. that was forced to resign. Start the Countdown for New York State's reprieve from Paterson.

Polls and Palin




Not those types of poles

I have been concerned lately about the recent polls that show the republican ticket of McCain/Palin is still riding the wave of the convention bump. How with the numerous gaffes that McCain has made in public how could these polls show a consistent rise in McCain's numbers. Then it hit me, polls for one mainly use land lines to get their information. Who has land lines old people and old people. OK not me.
Polls also take in account likely voters (Voters who have registered and voted in presidential election prior to this one). Well, I am included in the set, but excluded for not being old. Many Obama supporters happen to be young, first time voters who were not able to vote in 2004 due to age restrictions. The other option could be that many voters who are likely to vote for Obama did not vote last election due to the choices. That takes out 10 million plus possible respondents, if they all happened to have a land line.
My third point is, when do pollsters call. Most likely during normal business hours and dinner time to catch families at home who have a land line. During most business hours a normal person with a normal schedule who does not stay at home will miss the call on their land line for pollsters. Being allot of supporters of Obama are under 40, it is unlikely many supporters are at home and not at work to answer the phone call. If you are a supporter of any candidate and are under 40 without a family, how likely is it that you are hanging out alone in your house waiting for the phone to ring from a polling company.

All this being said, screw the biased polls and the unobjective journalism MSNBC, CNN, Fox Noise, are all participating in. And a word from a McCain/Palin unsupporter. Will Hunting aka Matt Damon



And a message for racist ass Lou Dobbs, fuck you. What is that in your hands, but that is news to no one. You peddle racism for ratings, hell has a special place for you.

I have been writing all day

This is a great web site that compiles 14 different political polls from various polling companies in the United States.

congratulations Lubbock for this recognition and having the only place that sells alcohol located outside of the city limits. Looks like that plan is working.

Back to writing my paper for interpersonal.

Is this a bit much for any police department. Lamborghini, really that is necessary officer?
