Most Americans oppose Congress authorizing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, as the public splits over whether the US has already done enough to assist Ukraine.

    Bullshit. Manufacturing consent.

    SSRS are a C+ pollster. I’d trust them about as far as I can throw them.

    A fucking mail survey on top of that. Talk about self-selection.

    The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS from July 1 through 31 among a random national sample of 1,279 adults initially reached by mail.

    The margin of error could also make actual support go either way.

    Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points; it is larger for subgroups.

    All in all, a completely useless poll.

      Absolutely awesome find. Thanks for the input. My stomach sank when I read that article this morning on CNN. Couldn’t believe we would give up our support so quickly

    I still remember the fake “onsite” reports “from Iraq”… CNN as phony as a two dollar bill

          now that two dollar bills are real. Rereading my comment it’s really ambiguous, but my question was about the phrase as real as a two dollar bill. Are they trying to imply that CNN isn’t fake?

            I think they are implying that CNN is fake, but they were misinformed about the reality of a $2 bill.

    Fuck CNN. Another useless “news” network like fawx news.

    Get your news from AP directly or from PBS (who is the only news company that still follows the Fairness Doctrine)
