Officially and very disappointed in Zogby


Remember when I ranted about that race survey a few weeks ago? The stupid, racist questions are back...

A few weeks back I nearly had an aneurysm when a Yahoo/AP report came out claiming how racist we all, especially white Democrats, are. I poked holes in the underlying company that ran the poll and its actual methodology vs. the way they made it sound in the report.

Well, I'm also on the Zogby lidst to get some polls, and imagine my utter shock and dismay to see this question pop up:
On a scale of 1 to 5, with one being the least trustworthy and 5 being the most trustworthy, please tell us how trustworthy you find each of the following groups.

1 Least trustworthy
2
3
4
5 Most trustworthy
Not sure/refuse
Hispanics





Whites





African Americans






Gah! Ugh! Bastahds!!!!!

I will give them this, and only this: At least they give you the option to refuse to answer (although I wish they didn't combine it with a "Not sure" response). I wish they gave "refuse to answer" its own..."I am not confused or unsure...I know that I will not answer a question that asks me to attribute a quality to an entire race of people!!!!!"

God, I can't wait until this election is fucking over.
