well that's the same with any survey, but the statistics are still there. Bush has been given workable plans, it's just a matter if he takes the opinions of the people into consideration. |

Chris...you're right...but sampling is meant to be used to take a general concensus by sampling a smaller number of the population using a random cross hatch of the populace. That's why polls have margins of error.
It's really not a poll's job to suggest alternative strategies for world affairs. It's not like presidential approval polls were invented to make Bush look like an idiot. They've been used for decades to convey people's feelings on important topics like the economy, foreign affairs, unemployment, etc. It's just that now there's a war to deal with and they're gauging people's approval. As the article states, Bush was handed a number of viable problem solvers from people that even he trusts. His reaction was to pretty much ignore them so far. That's all fine and good, but while he's twiddling his thumbs some kid from Iowa or somewhere similar is dying. He's got suggestions on how to handle what is arguably the most disasterous war ever fought by this country and he's doing nothing with them. As far as I'm concerned that is pretty deserved of disapproval.
