Problem is they mostly offer some really bad choices which virtually force an answer that is usually what the pollster or their backers wanted in the first place.
Many times I have given alternate answers as the options were not accurate enough that the pollster stops in the middle, thanks me and moves on.
I do find it strange that the congressional approval ratings nearly doubled in the last few weeks/months according to the poll you posted.

I agree. Polls are never accurate enough. I almost always want to answer differently than any of the choices given.

Hey Merc, again, you might want to tell that guy at fivethirtyeight.com that polls are useless, because he pretty consistently accurately predicts stuff based on polls.
