As this administration's political strategist, Karl Rove has sounded the mantra over the past 6+ years that they don't poll or pay attention to polls. This posture was key to an image that W was his own man. Of course this was always ridiculous, but hey, as long as you are on top, who's going to argue? Certainly not the lap dog White House press corps, who seem to be auditioning for a position as a tough, probing host of Entertainment Tonight (Did Brittany buckle up her baby?).
Well, look who's talking now... “Rove said he based his confidence on a private poll done for the Republican National Committee”. "The polls I believe are the polls that get run through the RNC," Rove said. "I look at the polls all the time." [quotes].
But who cares anymore? Bush lies and people die. Rove lies and this country goes a little deeper into delusion. Comfortably numb, that's the ticket (for 2008).
