A "Slim Majority"????

Reader Bruce Sandys sends word of an incredible howler in the Detroit News.

The headline of a Sunday article boldly proclaims, "Poll Suggests Slim Majority of Michiganders Favors Anti-Affirmative Action Proposal," referring to the effort to place a Proposition 209-like ban on racial preferences on the ballot in Michigan.

After several long quotes from preferentialists, however, the article reports:

But a January poll suggests a slim majority of Michigan voters support a ban on affirmative action in admissions and state hiring. A Detroit News poll conducted Jan. 7-12 of 400 registered voters found 64 percent of respondents favored a ban on affirmative action; 23 percent were opposed.

Since when is three to one support for something "a slim majority"?
