Great article in the NYPost about Push-Polling tactics employed by the NYTimes.

‘PUBLIC Says Bush Needs To Pay Heed To Weak Economy," blared yesterday's New York Times. Based on a telephone survey last week of 564 registered voters, the article claimed a majority of American voters believed that the president is spending too much time talking about Iraq while neglecting domestic problems.

An example he cites:

Slant No. 1: The Times poll asks voters if they would "be more likely to vote for a congressional candidate because of their positions on the economy or foreign policy."

The use of "foreign policy" throws the results way off and allows the Times to report that voters want more focus on the economy by 57 percent to 25 percent. But on Sept. 8-9 Fox News asked 900 voters a similar question - comparing not economy vs. foreign policy, but economy vs. national security. The results: an even split, with the economy pulling 32 percent and national security 31 percent. What a difference a word makes!
