Poll Bias

Aren't the politicians watching the polls?
Here is an article that talks about polling, and how it is a focal point of politicians. I felt that this would be good for give good insight into Lauren's image and article. Although, its poll contradicts the poll Lauren posted, because it talks about a decrease in the support of healthcare reform, which is a huge part in where this country is headed.

This is a good example of poll bias, which Lauren had talked about. The question that this article's poll asked was, "Public View Of The President's Healthcare Plan? Yay Or Nay For The Democrats?" This question, unlike Lauren's poll question, is short, sweet, and to the point. This leaves less room for bias. Lauren's question is filled with lots of strong wording and adjectives, which conveys the audience in a certain way. I feel that the poll that I discovered is a better gauge for what people think about where the country is going.
