AOL Users Rate Bush

Usually, AOL polls have slight conservative lean (I've seen this on all polls about the UN, abortion, stem-cell research, immigration, etc.), but this is something new, it looks like a new mandate:

All this proves is that AOL users aren't bright enough to fill out a ballot, which is hardly news.

Crap, I thought this was a porn thread.

You know...I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but somehow the opinions of people who pay to use an overpriced 3rd-rate miserable excuse for an ISP (and occasional spam cannon) aren't exactly enlightening.

When was the last time you saw a poll rank the choices:

Poor
Good
Excellent
Fair

Huh?

They're listing them by results in descending order.

My first thought was that the chain of thinking was supposed to go: AOL users are idiots, Bush supporters are idiots, AOLers are Bush supporters, therefore AOL users are tolerably representative of Bush supporters, therefore if even the AOLers are turning against Bush then Bush in in trouble.

Or something like that.

It's not factual evidence, more of an amusing soundbite to play to the congregation.
