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

They included the middle option. That's 1 primary difference, yes.

All I'm looking for here is an acknowledgement that our 2 polls are showing significantly different results when asking the same question.

CBS:
Dems supporting extending Bush tax rates: 10%

Gallup:
Dems supporting extending the Bush tax rates: 52%

The "all-or-nothing" claim against Gallup is clearly not valid since they presented different percentages of support for the tax extension and unemployment benefits. I don't know of any possible way to show that without asking the questions seperately.

Responses:

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
