It's not that internet users are less informed, it's that besides being self-selected, there is no explanation why that poll somehow captures unique votes.
The wording of a question is all-important.
This one is almost like saying, "Is the Administration secretive, or not secretive?" You'd get 95% on that one. Then you'd be left with interpreting that as good or bad.
On the term "obstructionists" in this poll, what conclusion can the respondent reply?
For example, what about those, like me, that absolutely prefer obstructionists on both sides, who think Congress would be much improved if it met 3 months out of the year like in the 1800's, and wish that air conditioning didn't work in DC, since it would cause the whole Beltway bunch to cause only a few months damage per year.
To me, the less Congress does, the healthier it is for America.
I prefer the Administration and Congress to be of different parties, for the reason that both parties sell their votes to organized lobbyists, of which the American people have none. |
