boo stole my pen and winx stole my pencil...they want to silence me BUT I WON'T BE SILENCED!!!! VIVA LA ROSE

You want me to vote for ya'?

sure willing...what a doll

uh oh 39% A
38% F

close race...BUT I GOT POLLED

Me too!

I would give him a D+.Although he doesn't know what he is doing at least he is finally saying something about the corporate greed and trying to do something about it.I also like that he is telling the auto unions that they need to start working for less than 75 dollars a hour if they are going to get the money.

That poll is funny.You can bet everyone that voted a A is a Democrat and everyone that voted F is a Republican.Someone said in another post that polls are stupid.I agree.I also don't understand why anyone would give him a A.What is he getting a A for.Who ever gave him a A explain why you voted that way.

I gave him and A to irritate pessimists. You wanted honesty I hope. Actually I don't believe in polls either. I intend to wait it out a bit before I determine he doesn't know what he is doing. I gave Bush that much and I never thought he would end up being a good president.

Just voted, still neck and neck for A and F.

And there's no significant middle road. The People, see him as either capable or incompetent.

I think i give him a "D". I don't think he quite failed. But he is continuing just about all the policies under Bush.

His speaking ability "A+"



Economic sense "F"

Foreign Policy plans "F"

Healthcare plans "F"



Publicity "A"

His choice for cabinet "F"

How hard i think he's trying "C"

I do think people are too hard on him. But at the same time i think people expected too much from him. I think we need to focus more on congress than the front man.

Congress holds much of the power and they wrote the bills, and they are the ones with experience. Used to be the republican congress was corrupt, now it looks as though the democrats are just as bad.

There is also much attention that needs to be paid to those behind the scenes whose names keep popping up. Kissinger, Rockefellers, etc.

I think he is performing pretty much along every one's preconcieved perceptions

if you already hate him then he is doing terrible

if you already love him then he is doing great

I guess i would have to agree with you on that one...

Wouldn't you say that's how it was the last time around too? And the time before that?

gets monotonous don't it?

Same one as the poll!

Live Votes on msnbc.com
The differences between online surveys and scientific polls
One week in the middle of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, more than 200,000 people took part in an msnbc.com Live Vote that asked whether President Clinton should leave office. Seventy-three percent said yes. That same week, an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found that only 34 percent of about 2,000 people who were surveyed thought so.

More recently, in an msnbc.com survey conducted after a televised debate in the run-up to the New Hampshire primary, when asked “Who stood out from the pack?” 76 percent of the more than 55,000 people who responded chose Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.

This indicated strong support for Paul among msnbc.com readers.

But it revealed nothing about how voters in New Hampshire, or other states, intended to vote in primary elections.

In the week prior to the New Hampshire primary, polls indicated that anywhere between five percent and 14 percent of likely voters in the Republican primary intended to cast their ballots for Paul.

On Election Day, Paul got about eight percent of the votes cast in the New Hampshire GOP primary.

To explain the gap in the numbers in this and other similar cases, let’s consider the differences in the two kinds of surveys.

Polls
Journalists and political strategists use polls to gauge what the public is thinking. The most statistically accurate picture is captured by using a randomly selected sample of individuals within the group that is being targeted, such as those likely to vote in a presidential primary election.

While a poll of 100 people will be more accurate than a poll of 10, studies have shown that accuracy begins to improve less at about 500 people and increases only a minor amount beyond 1,000 people.

So, in the case of that NBC-WSJ poll, only 2,005 adults were surveyed by the polling organizations of Peter D. Hart and Robert M. Teeter. The poll was conducted by telephone and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. The confidence level means that if the same poll were conducted 100 times, each one randomly selecting the people polled, only five of the polls would be expected to yield results outside the margin of error.

In the NBC-WSJ survey, pollsters first randomly selected a number of geographic areas and then telephone numbers were generated in a way that allowed all numbers in those areas (both listed and unlisted) an equal chance to be called. Only one adult in each household was then selected to answer the poll.

Online Surveys
In contrast, msnbc.com's online surveys — or Live Votes — may reflect the views of more individuals, but they are not necessarily representative of the general population. And they may be even less representative of those people who are registered to vote and who do in fact vote.

To begin with, the people who respond to online surveys choose to do so — they are not randomly selected and asked to participate, but instead make the choice to read a story about a certain topic and then vote on a related question.

They may be highly motivated supporters of a particular candidate who are determined to show their support for him or her in any way they can.

And while Live Votes are designed to allow only one vote per user, someone who wants to vote more than once can use another computer or another Internet account.

Live Votes are not intended to be a scientific sample of opinion. Instead, they are part of the same dialogue that takes place in our online chat sessions: a way to share your views on the news with your fellow users and with msnbc.com writers and editors.

Let us know what you think.

it Says Right under the Results that it's Not Scientific! but I Still Gave My Honest Opinion of His Work So Far. I Graded Him on More than Just the Economy Because Nobody Alive is Gonna Turn this Thing Around overnight. I Gave Him an F For Things Like Not Letting the Death Tax Sunset, Wanting to Tax People Who Use Wind Jammers and Solar Panels, I'm not a Smoker but I Don't think He Should Raise Taxes on Tobacco To Pay For Something Else. and There's More that I Don't like about the Guy, Truthfully I'm Fed up With Politicians in General.

That's what it says on the web site where the poll is!

Problem with this kind of poll.
Anyone can participate, from underage children to illegal immigrants.
Anyone, and if a person wanted and had access they could vote repeatedly from different computers.

That sounds like the American Idol polls. People can repeatedly vote and children can do it too.
