It the polls bear no references, making this nothing but a piece of political propaganda. It doesn't say who they asked, where they are from, there are just so many factors that could sway the poll, but the statistics of the poll are not listed, therefore this poll cannot truly be taken seriously.

The only poll I will take seriously will be the one they do in November(called the general election)..between now and then people switch sides, change their minds, and manipulate numbers....

Nate-Good point. Perhaps the answer is this link; which was on the news story page itself:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...T2008062200049

Not that questioning the research method matters for this type of faux-revelation, based on the main point versus some of the details, but that question is answered on this link.

ETA: This link is also on the main article. It provides a link to the washington post poll for those who were truly concerned.

Sorry I missed the link, I thought it would redirect me back to the original page. Thank you for the link to it. I still think that the statistics still leave much to be desired, things such as a breakdown of each target would have given a much more idea of how things will actually go, but it would take far too long to decide. Once again, it does say randomly selected, but it would have been nice for a regional breakdown.
