BEWARE of the NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll – the poll is based on more republicans being polled than democrats.
When I was watching MSNBC earlier today during the first hour with Donnie Deutsch and Tamron Hall they were discussing these polls as it related to the Gates/Crowley situation. The poll showed more people thought Gates was at fault but during the discussion it was revealed by Mark Whitaker that internal numbers showed people who were polled voted down party lines. So what does this poll tell you, that NBC polled more republicans than democrats and looking at the Gates’ Poll, the republicans were polled by a larger margin.

NYT/CBS Poll
The poll found 66 percent of respondents were concerned that they might eventually lose their insurance if the government did not create a new health care system, and 80 percent said they were concerned that the percentage of Americans without health care would continue to rise if Congress did not act.
By 55 percent to 26 percent, respondents said Mr. Obama had better ideas about how to change health care than Republicans in Congress did.
There is overwhelming support for a bipartisan agreement on health care, and here again, Mr. Obama appears in the stronger position: 59 percent said that he was making an effort to work with Congressional Republicans, while just 33 percent said Republicans were trying to work with him on the issue.
