fun with polling

once again, we see that support for the "public option" depends on how you ask the question in the poll. and so:

-opponents of the health care reform will ignore the SurveyUSA poll and continue to cite the NBC poll as definitive (at least until another poll comes along with results they like)

-proponents of health care reform will point to the SurveyUSA poll (by either ignoring the NBC poll or using the SurveyUSA poll to show that the NBC poll was badly worded)

all i think this really proves is that americans like the word "choice".
