news.yahoo.com — There is a widespread unease—shared by 77 percent—that the country has meandered off in the wrong direction. Nearly all Democrats and more than six in 10 Republicans think the country has taken the wrong course. And although almost half express interest and hope in the upcoming elections, a third voice frustration—particularly Republicans.

Polls like this assume that the people who these polls are talking about actually care. The fact is, they don't.Let me say it again... the administration about which this poll is discussing DOES NOT CARE about what the people think and where this country is going. Poll all you like...it falls on deaf ears.

Poll: 90% of voters realize voting does s**t.

I had a very interesting conversation with a student in one of my college classes the other day. I was attempting to ask him questions regarding the current events in Iraq, etc, and he looked at me in a way that concerned me. Some Americans, especially during the events after 9/11, have grown complacent. The majority understand that as Americans we have little to fear on our soil, but they are also void of a real understanding about what's transpiring in today's world. What happens in America spills into the world, and vise-versa, and 9/11 changed the world. People are becoming frustrated with this administration, and the problems extend beyond those of domestic quarrels; the international scene has expressed concern too about the actions of the US, particularly the unilateral action implemented in Iraq. We as Americans are upset with the current course, as current polls show, and we as Americans also understand that we need a real change in this country. I honestly feel that if America is prospering and engaging in diplomatic measures rather than resorting to iron will to influence democracy, the better the world will become.

100% of polls are bulls**t. Most of the time they are taken by people who are payed to get a certain answer....who actually still pays attention to polls? If you believed all the polls you would think everyone in the US is on the left side of the spectrum. In reality it is now and always will be split down the middle.
