Note to SurveyUSA: Mark ain’t John Warner

So I just got polled by SurveyUSA. Only problem was that the nice, automated female voice kept referring to Democrat John Warner instead of Democrat Mark Warner.

One of the first series of questions was about approval/disapproval of various people – Bush, Kaine and Allen and John Warner. I didn’t think much about it. But then they started pairing names for president – John Edwards vs John McCain, Rudy Guilani, Mitt Rommey, Condi Rice, Newt Gingrich. OK – so far so good. Then it was Gringrich vs Russ Feingold. Then she said Gringrich versus Democrat John Warner. Later it was Rice versus Democrat John Warner.

Guess they are going to have to throw out all the Warner questions before they release this poll :lol: Too bad. Would have been nice to know how the former governor Mark Warner stacked up against Gingrich and Rice.

    I’ve always said that Warner’s approval ratings are artificially inflated by about 2-3% by people who confuse him for John.

    Haha, this certainly will not make me any more confident in polling practices. Still, I would think that a decent polling company would be able to avoid such a mistake.

    I always say that the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day ;)

    I guess that explains some of the Senator’s positions. He’s really a Democrat in disguise!

    Heh…they didn’t call me.

    But I wouldn’t vote for either one of ‘em.

    The A-Team got this one wrong. They must have mis-read what I posted.

    Since RINO John Warner is more concerned with Rights for the Terrorists than keeping Americans alive, what’s the difference? I wouldn’t vote for him for anything either.
