Survey Methods Results are based on telephone interviews with 1,004 national adults, aged 18 and older, conducted Apr. 7-9, 2006. For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
---------------------------------------- US Population (estimated 2006): 298,444,215
How can 1,004 people accurately reflect the entire US population?
Because they take people in their percentage that represents the demographics of this country. I know it's hard to understand, but it works, there are people with PhDs in Stastics who design these polls and they are far more intelligent than you or anyone you know. That is why polls so accurately predict elections beforehand, rarely are they off by more than a couple of % points. I don't need to interview 1,000,000 Jews with incomes between $100,000 and $250,000 when 10 of them will provide a pretty clear picture of how that demographic would vote. Just like I wouldn't need to interview 1,000,000 white Christians from the South to know what they are thinking because a small sample size would provide the same information. Everyone fits a certain pattern, that's how it works.
Don't forget that if the U.S is a Muslim country, than why is it that the overwhelming majority of American women refuse to wear their burkhas or hijabs and instead prefer to wear Western clothes ?
Why is it that American women are not being stoned to death for refusing to wear their burkhas or hijabs ?
Why do most people in this country eat pork ?
Why do we allow women to run for political office in this country ?
As a muslim nation why does a very large percentage of the population here have dogs as house pets ?
Why do have the largest adult porn movie industry in the world ?
It seems like us Americans are Muslims in name only because we do not really take Islam as seriously as we are supposed to. Allah must be looking down on us Americas right now with shame.
Careful. You could undo all the good that the President has done with statements like that.
Some of the posters on this board have GOT to be kidding me!!!! There are still some lunatics in this country that believe if we are "NICE" and "FRIENDLY" with the Muslim Nation, then they will somehow "LIKE" us??!!!!!!!! Delusional at best on your parts possibly you are psychotic to believe such gibberish. Where was the outcry from the "GOOD" Muslims in the world after FOUR (Have You Forgotten) planes crashed into American Landmarks and a field in Pennsylvania killing 1000s of AMERICANS!!!!! There was extremely little to NOOOOOOOOO outcry from the "GOOD" Muslims. I was on Patrol in New York City and sickenly observed "GOOD" Muslims dancing in the streets of Brooklyn....bodega owners, laundromat owners, people at Mosques....dancing in the streets CELEBRATING the blow that Islam had struck on the heathen Americans. They had their 3, 4, 5, 10, and 12 year old children dancing and celebrating with them talking about the "evil" Americans. Don't you dare talk to me about trying to "Make Friends" with the people of Islam. I've seen first hand average, everyday, "GOOD" Muslims dancing and celebrating the deaths of 1000s of Americans.....Sad very sad that there are "Americans" that see nothing wrong with this...Sorry for the rant but I just had to get it off my chest after observing all the apologies the Messiah has been making to the Muslim world about actions of our country. Does France and England apologize all the time about colonizing the Middle East after World War I??? Noooooooooo. Do we apologize for giving billions of dollars in aid to assist Somalis, Bosnians, and other Muslim nations around the world????? I truly am tired of the apologies.

Spoken like a true member of George Bush's base. A dead-ender. Part of the 20% of Americans who crave war all the time. War is just a big ego trip for them. We are 100% right. The Muslims (all of them) are 100% wrong.
No war.....but definitely no apologist. If you want to be told it is raining while someone is urinating on your leg and believe it then kudos to you. I choose to believe what I see with my own eyes. Go on portraying those you don't know as warmongers to justify your beliefs...you never heard me mention war...you talk about talking points by Conservatives.....that is exactly what you are doing. Just because I believe there is a good percentage of muslims that hate America does not make me a warmonger.

Well I'm sorry to tell you but the adults are in charge now. Your ideology ruled during the Bush years and it turned out to be a pathetic failure. Foreign policy is not to be left to macho, amateurs on ego trips. Any foreign policy expert (expect your beloved Neocons) will tell you it is critical to have Muslim public opinion, at the very least, not sympathetic to your enemies. Go win an election if you don't like it.
Only because you don't understand that the same statements taken in different contexts have can have vastly different meanings...LOL
I don't have time to teach you English. And you don't want to learn. You're too busy biitching and moaning and trying to score cheap shots on Obama.
Let's have a look at some things that obama, and those closely associated with him, have said that those of us paying attention have, as you say, "taken out of context".
- Not God bless America. God damn America.
- My Muslim faith.
- She (grandmother) is a typical white person.
- My bowling is so bad it's like the special olympics.
- For the first time in my life I am actually proud of my country.
- They (anyone who dares disagree with obama) get bitter, they cling to guns or religion.
- When you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody.
- I've been to 57 states, I think there's one more to go.
- She (obama's grandmother) is a typical white person.
All things that I'm sure you will say were "taken out of context".
For someone who is supposedly so intelligent and is such a terrific speaker, he sure does say a lot of really dumb things that get "taken out of context".
Well I'm sorry to tell you but the adults are in charge now.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
Good joke
LOL!!
