But another interesting question is why haven't I been asked to do one of these Iraq polls? before the war i used to get email requests from YouGov every single week. now i get nothing.

Thats a good question. Perhaps its because no poll results are better than no poll results. After all, it costs a lot of money to commission a poll, and if the leaders/majoritity of the rich want to avoid bad publicity, they simply don't pay for polls.

And if they do decide to pay for polls, then they ask questions that are likely to support them.

For example, asked about Blair's handling of the war, I would say yes, he has handled it as well as could be expected. What is there for him to do anyway? He just ignores everyone, and spouts some bullshit mantra. That's all that people can expect of him - I don't expect the guy to put a uniform on and join the troops for the storming of Baghdad...But that doesn't mean that I support him or his war in any way; quite the opposite, I'd like to throttle the man for being such an arrogant christian moralist murderer. And is anyone getting really pissed off with Geoff Goon? What an annoying piece of shit.

I wouldn't worry about polls too much anyway. Lots of people don't follow the news or form their own opinions. We need to stick to our convictions, and all we can do is try and help others form theirs.
