Why Polls Should Be Taken With a Grain of Salt
The Wall Street Journal did a nice job of deconstructing the ways in which the recent Ziegler/Zogby poll is problematic. I won’t go into it, because I can’t hold a candle to the column itself. Suffice to say that certain members of the Right Wing are more interested in slighting those who voted for Obama than doing any soul-searching about how to revitalize the GOP. To wit, the conservative Ziegler, who bankrolled the poll, said the poll shows that “a group of monkeys” know more about politics than Obama supporters. Nice, huh? I’m taking it somewhat out of context but, really, is there a good way to take it? Now, read the Wall Street Journal piece and educate yourselves — just to prove Ziegler wrong.
