Other? What the heck is other? People too stupid to have an opinion?
Now, lets look at the March Gallup numbers:

GOP 29
Ind 39
Dem 29
GOP/lean 45
Dem/lean 43
-----------
So according to Gallup, Dems and GOP are pretty even. Yet this poll has Dems up 8-9 points over pubbies, plus there is that mysterious 'other' column where all kinds of crap can be buried. So there is easily a possible 15 point bias in this poll, which means -28 could actually be closer to even with realistic samples and registered voters.
This is a pure garbage poll, in other words.
Thanks!!!
