Mr Skeptic here again.
Exactly where does Yahoo have these polls? I mean, if I go to Yahoo.com, how do I find this poll? I don't see it. I don't see any polls. I've looked under "opinion", "blog" and "news", no polls. What use is it posting in these polls if no one, other than those who've received an alert even know about them?
So how did the person who started this alert know about this poll?
I've several of these this week and I'm very suspicious that either someone is faking the Yahoo site either for kick-and-grins, or more nefariously, is wasting our time. There are other news sites, who do legitimately have polls, but they leave their polls on-line for years afterwards, not to see the results, but to track how information ebbs and flows around the Internet.

Like I posted , I got it in an E - Mail alert because I signed up for several other opinion poll sights.
If you want to get asked your opinion you have to get out there and let the world know you've got one.

The sad part about polls is that they only gauge our opinion of what is happening and not what is really happening. They gauge our emotions on the state of things. That being said, I believe it is even worse than what the poll shows, because with all the money being thrown into the economy (money that we don't have and will be paying back through taxes and higher prices for generations) the stock market is starting to improve, and people that shouldn't be buying new cars are taking on larger responsibilities ... Sound familure ... back during the Clinton era we started selling houses to people that should never have owned them and then were shocked when it didn't work ... Same hymn - different verse.
We have people that don't understand economics and money management running around telling us how great things are going to be, because the markets are improving. Heads in the sand ??? I don't know, but there sure are a lot of A**es in the air ???
