I'll try to read the full study if I have the time later.

This one seems to have been very careful about setting flat baselines (making both sponsors strong liberals so conservatives would dislike it equally, for example). And I would be very leery of any question that said "some people..." but that also makes for an interesting alternative.
Changing subject slightly, have you read about No Labels? This seems like a great organization and I love their ideas, and perish the thought, it was started by a couple Republicans. www.nolabels.org/work ... |
No Labels is a good idea but I wouldn't hold your breath on it coming to fruition, it's just not in the best interests of either party to work together like that.
I would have liked to see them compare Obama to someone else, someone more current in politics. I've heard that past presidents are typically looked upon more favorably as time passes (barring scandal i.e. Nixon) plus Clinton is better liked than Obama IMHO. I think his time in office is looked at more favorably. Good economy, pre-9/11, no wars...the good ole days. I've even heard people say they wish that Hillary would have won so Bill Clinton could be in the WH again.
