In response to "same question I raised to Jack below" by Strongbad

I'm ignoring the unemployment question altogether, and focusing solely on their approach to the tax cut issue.

which, in the Gallup poll is presented as a false dilemma between extending all the tax cuts or none of them. Whereas the CBS poll actually more correctly indicates public opinion by including the middle option.

Responses:

They included the middle option. That's 1 primary difference, yes. - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:07 3
- and all I'm saying is that the false dilemma explains the difference. The results are not comparable as they are not actually asking the same question - znufrii Dec 9, 07:10 2
  - I understand. Jack's use of the word "hostage package" above made me think both of you were including the unemployment benefits + the tax extension. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:14 1
    - My mistake was assuming you and Jack were coming from the same angle. - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:19
