Joe, the Media Research Center today reports that Brit Hume on Tuesday night found some differently worded polls that drew dramatically different results than the ABC News/Washington Post poll on judicial nominees.
“If you doubt whether the framing of a poll question can influence the outcome,” Hume asked, “consider this. When a Republican poll said quote, ‘Even if they disagree with a judge, Senate Democrats should at least allow he President’s nominations to be voted on,’ 81 percent said they agreed.” In addition, a Rasmussen survey found that when asked “should the Senate rules should be changed so that a vote must be taken on every person that the President nominates to become a judge?”, 56 percent responded affirmatively.
