The poll was a cross section of Americans in all 50 states. They did not single out liberals and only poll liberals. The poll represents a cross section of Americans and shows that more people around the country admire Clinton and Obama than anyone else. It's pretty simple.No, more liberals and progressives like Obama and Clinton.The respondents say who they do have a positive opinion of. That is what the poll reflects: who people like. And more people like Obama and Clinton than anyone else.Since the question is who you most admire, those that think they are lying cheats will not answer in the affirmative. This particular poll question does not gather information about people that have a negative opinion because that is not the question asked.It surveyed a cross section of people across the country: it is NOT a poll measuring only what "the population that admires them" thinks. What absolute nonsense it is to suggest so.Obama and H. Clinton are very polarizing people with extremely high name recognition. This pole is measuring only the population that admires them, it does not measure the population that thinks they are lying cheats. Obama and H. Clinton are both very much admired (far left democrats) and disdained ( far right republicans).There are about 255 million Americans 18 and older, so you are exaggerating. Howeve, the fact is that all polls take representative samples. And that is what this poll has done. Gallup Polls are considered valid and reliable. As well, the real point here, in this thead, is that most Americans do not feel about Obama or Mrs. Clinton the way the RW posters on this board represent it. The virulent hatred towards Obama and Clinton is NOT the norm. That's the point.
If I asked a group of oil workers if they had a high opinion of someone like the CEO of Gulf Oil, what do you think that results will be if they limit their polling question to ONLY oil platform workers?
They asked a bunch of extreme leftists what their opinion of Obama and Clinton was. The answer was predetermined by the people they asked.
You cannot accept reality. They did not single out anyone. They did not poll only liberals. They polled a cross section of Americans in all 50 states.They asked a bunch of extreme leftists what their opinion of Obama and Clinton.
