Feigned Outrage

A new poll is up on www.news.com.au

Will the conclusion of American weapons inspectors that Iraq effectively had no WMDs since 1991 affect how you vote on Saturday?

1489 50.27% No - I will still vote Coalition
870 29.37% No - I will still vote Labor
603 20.35% Yes - I will now switch my vote to Labor / the Greens

Assuming this is a reasonable cross section of the community - something approaching 20% of the survey respondants are liars. As the coalition never polls more than around 51% of the vote. These people have not made a 'switch'. Feigned outrage this is.

Can you truly believe online polls?
