NYT/CBS poll. I wonder what the results would be if it were a FOX news poll ? I'm thinking just the opposite. If it were really 72 %, the democrats wouldn't be stalling.

Oh, I forgot...you just pick what "facts" you like.

Nevermind.

And the New York Times ? Truth in every article. That's why they are losing readers and money by the millions.

Pollsters can get any result they're paid to get, especially with something that folks don't really understand too well.

Poll: Most Don't Know What "Public Option" Is -- Including Pollsters

A new survey by Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates for the AARP reveals widespread uncertainty about the nature of the "public option" -- a government-run health insurance policy that would be offered along with private policies in the newly-created health insurance exchanges. Just 37 percent of the poll's respondents correctly identified the public option from a list of three choices provided to them:

The following poll was as recently as August, but I've seen them all over the place:

NBC poll: Plurality opposes public option

And I read somewhere that your NYT/CBS Poll was heavily weighted with Democrats. Oh yeah, it was at the Newsbusters website:

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/clay-waters/2009/09/25/ny-timess-latest-heavily-pro-democratic-poll-still-finds-resistance-oba

And before you give me any static over using Newsbusters as a source I'd like to point out that they're hardly any more biased than CBS or The New York Times is.

Since you've spent so much time making sure everyone knows you think CBS and the NYT are valueless, partisan rubbish, it seems an interesting thing that you quote a source with only the fact that it's equally biased rubbish to your side of the issues to commend it. One would hope for your at least being able to say "This is not a biased source" instead, but in the case of Newsbusters, that would be impossible.

Generally, Newsbusters articles contain video and links to the articles being discussed, proving the point they are making. And again Spinner, every source is biased, CBS and the New York Times just happen to be two of the worst offenders. Patronize them, but do so thoughtfully, bearing in mind that it is up to the individual to sort things out themselves the best they can. However, if it drastically offends you to have the sources of information on which you base your world view challenged, you always have the option to quit reading my posts.

Obama so far has been trying to work with people.

You should really add a sarcasm warning before saying something like this.
