According to the IPSOS report on the poll, 1000 adults were interviewed. Only 837 were identified as registered voters – 78% according the percentages cited in the report. Out of the 1000 adults, only 40% were identified as Republicans – either strongly or moderately Republican. Those identified as Democrats constituted 51% of the total adults interviewed. Independents and those “not sure” made up 9% of those polled. This puts President Bush and his administration at a 60% disadvantage from the beginning. So much for a true picture of opinions as President Bush garnered 51% of the popular vote in November 2004. Robin didn't get off to a very good start. Is he assuming that only Republicans voted for Bush in Nov 2004? He's mixing apples and bananas. It's not the distribution of the 2004 election [Bush v. Kerry] that he should be comparing, but the distribution of the population that consider themselves Republicans, Democrats and others. You might e:mail him and suggest he rethink his article. If he corrects that, maybe I'll read the rest of the article. jttmab
