About a -3 in both directions, however I found the questions badly worded. Some, as flat out statements were true, however that did not make the premise acceptable. It comes down to what I have stated earlier, tell me what results you want and I will write the poll questions for you.

You know, very few of the questions were phrased to where I could take a definite position on them. At least is wasn't a push poll.

It also appears from the responses that pretty much everyone here is to the center, more or less, or off to the left...other than "Sandy the Hun", who claims he's to the right of Genghis Khan.

I think he's pullin' our legs.

Sandy would never do that.

I think you're right, Chas. I think the actual center on their graph should be lower and farther to the left. I also agree about many of the questions not allowing a satisfactory response.

I guess anyone who's going to put up a survey like that has an agenda. What do you suppose theirs is?

You got me, I found it on the Democratic Underground.

And that's a fact.
