My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Before You Get Too Worked Up About The Poll

ABCNews/Wash Post has a new poll out. The numbers are mostly bad for the President, and that is certainly what will be most reported in the MSM.

But before you start wringing your hands and flogging yourself with wet parchment, note this pretty important question:

901. Generally speaking, do you usually think of yourself as:

Democrat: 35%
Republican: 28%
Independent: 32%
Other: 5%


There are many other odd things in this poll, which I will try to tear up in the next couple days. Just keep those numbers in mind--any poll which has only 28% of its sample GOP is not a particularly useful poll.
