The very biased USA Today has commissioned Gallup to poll Wisconsin. Results: 60% support collective bargaining. Really ??

Understand that anytime you see a "USA Today/ Gallup poll," you are reading polling results by Gallup or whatever the polling firm, with questions supplied by - in this case - USA Today. Such polls are innately biased and in this instance, to the Left.

We draw that last conclusion because I believe USA Today is a rank Marxist rag when it comes to anything political. This bias is reflected in everything from its sports coverage to the listings in its want ad section, insisting on politically correct language rather than the popular language of middle America.

The polling result is listed in our headline. 60% sounds substantial. Kind of sounds as if the people support the methodology the current teacher revolt.

Two observations: one, I cannot find a statement as to the question(s) asked in this survey. Secondly, whether support for collective bargaining is as high as suggested, it is a rather common polling result that the American voter does not support the teacher's riot and illegal walk-out.

I must add that Gallup often presents its methodology for public review. It is not Gallup I suspect. Rather, it is USA Today. To be sure, Gallup has a left leaning bias; Rasmussen has a right leaning bias. Neither allows this bias to substantially effect their individual polls when they supply their own questions and run use their own methodologies.
