POPSabandon facebook, this network is going down! An article from the guys over at Mashable about the poll "Are you fed with Facebook?" As the circle diagram is showing the majority are fed up with this "2006/2007 phenomena". I´am searching for a social network that is for people over 25 and who has gained life experience. Really tired to see pictures of teenage girls with alot of make up & guys showing their torsos.

POPSNot a bubble but still painful For better or worse? The WSJ's poll of economists says that the boom in oil and food prices isn't an investing bubble but a fundamental shift in supply and demand.

POPSPopular Vote: Obama 48.9% Clinton 51.1% (continued) in some states, these were not recorded (or whether to count Florida and Michigan:) http://www.redstate.com/stories/elections/2008/obamomentum_revisited Here's the remaining schedule, with a chart showing the most recent poll I could find - I used Rasmussen for West Virginia, Kentucky and Oregon, a mid-April Dakota Wesleyan poll for South Dakota, a mid-April Puerto Rico poll, and, lacking a head-to-head poll, I used Rasmussen's general election numbers for Montana, which show Obama polling much better, but with basically similar numbers to the South Dakota poll (but note that unlike earlier Obama mountain-state victories these are primaries, not caucuses).

POPSSea Shepherd to Bill $1000.00 a Day for the Farley Mowat “And we will sue again,” said Captain Paul Watson. “We will not have the government of Canada trample on our rights as citizens and we will not have the government setting a precedent of boarding non-Canadian vessels in international waters with armed boarding parties. We intend to fight this battle in the courts and we intend to win based on the evidence that the government of Canada acted unlawfully for political reasons to further the selfish ambitions of Canadian Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Loyola Hearn.” Even the people of Newfoundland believe that the Farley Mowat should be returned to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. A week-end poll by the Newfoundland newspaper the Western Star had 75% voting to return the ship.

POPS'Listening' Politicians Are A Menace Another nice piece by David Aaronovitch, which has resonance on both sides of the Atlantic. When the latest New York Times poll came out the other day indicating that many voters think Hillary Clinton says what she thinks voters want to hear rather than what she genuinely believes - the ludicrous gas tax 'holiday' for instance - I couldn't help but be reminded of Garry Trudeau's classic "Tanner" mini-series, where one of the ads for the fictional candidate featured footage of him "listening"....

POPSPoll: Wright Won't Influence Obama...Yet Interesting poll that shows the relationship between Wright and Obama isn't going to hurt the latter's political standing...until the fall election. http://www.forbes.com/opinions/2008/04/28/obama-wright-theology-oped-cx_hra_0428blackqanda.html

POPSMcCain-Jindal? Another McCain staffer called my attention to this finding in the latest Fox News poll: McCain led Obama in the straight match-up, 46 to 43. Voters were then asked to choose between two tickets, McCain-Romney vs. Obama-Clinton. Obama-Clinton won 47 to 41. That reversal of a three-point McCain lead to a six-point deficit for the McCain ticket suggests what might happen (a) when the Democrats unite, and (b) if McCain were to choose a conventional running mate, who, as it were, reinforced the Republican brand for the ticket. As the McCain aide put it, this is what will happen if we run a traditional campaign; our numbers will gradually regress toward the (losing) generic Republican number.

POPSIn Sickness And In Health This is how you know the country is really facing a health-care crisis. A Kaiser Family Foundation survey is showing that 7% of Americans have themselves or know someone who has gotten married in the last year to get health insurance. I know that health insurance obviously can play a big role in whether people leave or keep their jobs but I had no idea that benefits were affecting major life decisions, like when to get married. Hopefully these insurance carriers also cover the cost of marital counseling.

POPSBarack Obama's Worst Nightmare On Media Tour The poll shows Clinton beating Republican candidate John McCain, 50 percent to 41 percent, in a potential matchup, while Obama would be tied with McCain, leading 46 percent to 44 percent. Among the white voters polled, Clinton received 43 percent to McCain's 48 percent, while Obama landed only 38 percent to McCain's 51 percent. David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist, appeared clearly worried about Wright's affect on his candidate's campaign. "We don't have any control over Reverend Wright," Axelrod told The Times of London. "There's not a thing we can do about it. "Obviously, I don't think we would have encouraged him to go on a media tour."

POPSIs Hillary Clinton Push Polling? More: The questions started out normal enough, but got progressively more ridiculous. Early in the conversation Ed asked my preference among the Democratic candidates and I told him I was an Obama supporter. Then the questions turned to long Hillary-praising and Barack bashing policy statements with the response options being "Do you consider that a very strong, strong or weak or very weak reason to support her candidacy for president?" which is kind of an unanswerable question, and clearly not the point. At the end of the conversation they asked "Now based on everything we've discussed, who would you vote for?" The questions were often based on statements that I wouldn't agree with in the first place. It's classic push polling as I've read about it, though never experienced it before. The questions are of the "Are you still beating your wife?" variety. No way to answer with any sense of veracity and integrity
