I didn't know anything about the damn poll. I didn't know for sure just how many of the people polled were Democrats, and how many were Republicans. I suspected that it was a case of Democrat agitprop, so I posted it to find out if it was. I'm not some DU troll, if that's what people think.

I don't think you're a troll. A true troll wouldn't do anything as obvious as spelling Reagan's name wrong in their tagline.

If you just took a second you could have reviewed the article's graphic which shows a bias from the start. The 2004 averages were created by polling REGISTERED voters - the Nov. 7-9 '05 numbers were from a poll of 1,000 ADULTS. While not as stark as when LIKELY voters are polled, comparing registered voter polling to the polling of 1,000 ADULTS guarantees a good sized collection of unknowledgable twits mnay of whom will not actually (and often have not) vote(d) come '06.

Second this accompanying article is written by the infamous AP hack Will Lester. Nuff' said.

In conclusion: any criticism of your post is well justified because you refused to make the most rudimentary review of the article/poll and just seem to expect others to do the basic internet legwork (I didn't look for complete internal breakdowns but will do so in a moment.)
