This right here speaks volumes to Ron Paul's performance in NH.

Really? I suppose it also says 41% think the war is going well.

I wonder if this poll isn't somehow biased, the fairly low performance of foxnews.com makes me think it wasn't just a matter of which people they called either.

Really? I'm still shocked; 41% think the (undeclared) war is going ... well? really, I don't think I would ever use that adjective to describe what is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I believe this survey is pretty close to being accurate. It is a large sample and takes into account the political spectrum.

I believe this survey is pretty close to being accurate. It is a large sample and takes into account the political spectrum.

I always thought those 70% numbers were way to high. I guess I chalked it up to living in Georgia and Nebraska and thinking that more than 70% of people somewhere else were against the war to make up for the people around me.

Interesting that the voters go to MSNBC.com over all other news websites for their campaign news.

Poor Drudge, I am sure he is not happy with this survey!!!
