TO EVERYBODY:

ask yourself a simple question: "How did this poll randomly sample the population of college students?"

answer: There's no way they randomly surveyed the population of college students.

Apparently they made phone calls (at random? they don't explain) and asked if the person who answered was a college student and would answer the questions.

Students living at home would be vastly over-represented compared to dorm-living students. Students living at home are more in touch with the "real world" and less with "campus culture." I'd expect that they would be more conservative.

In other words don't believe anything this survey says.

I relish your distrust of this survey, and share your interest in its methodology, but one can EASILY randomly sample college students by requesting a fax from college libraries nationwide of a single page of their phone books. Colleges are generally eager for free p.r. and would do something so simple to attain it in a heartbeat.

Simply put, while I agree with your skepticism and laud you for it, I doubt their method of survey was as you claim. I wish we KNEW, however.
