Update: John Zeigler was right!
Doug put up this post showing how clueless a few of the people that voted for Obama were about the issues. The guy that commissioned the Zogby poll, John Zeigler, was confident of the results, he challenged Liberals (who excoriated) to put up or shut up - pay for exact same poll and see if your results are different.
No one took him up on it. So, he did it again (at his own expense, but included voters that choose the Republican, John McCain. Results? Go here for the full list, but here's a smattering of them:
Here are just some of the “highlights” of the Wilson Research Strategies poll of 1,000 voters whose demographic breakdown was an exact replica of the total voting population and whose results totally vindicate the controversial Zogby poll:
- 35 % of McCain voters got 10 or more of 13 multiple choice questions correct.
- 18% of Obama voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.
- McCain voters knew which party controls congress by a 63-27 margin.
- Obama voters got the “congressional control” question wrong by 43-41.
- Those that got “congressional control” correct voted 56-43 for McCain.
- Those that got “congressional control” wrong voted 65-35 for Obama.
- Those “exposed” to FOX News voted 70-29 for McCain.
- Those “exposed” to CNN voted 63-37 for Obama.
- Those “exposed” to MSNBC voted 73-26 for Obama.
- Those “exposed” to network newscasts voted 62-37 for Obama.
- Those “exposed” to national newspapers voted 64-36 for Obama
- Those “exposed” to talk radio voted 61-38 for McCain.
Who says that the media doesn't make a difference, eh?
Now, if they would only do a poll on us obsessed bloggers....or our readers!
