Ranting Profs - HOW DID CONDI DO, PART II By Cori Dauber If you want one stop shopping for polling results, you want Pollingreport.com -- it has everything, all data, all topics, across time. I'm still working on next week's presentation, but I just couldn't resist sneaking a peak at the results from last week's testimony. pollingreport.com Quick impressions? If you're thinking of this as Condi v. Clarke, she waxed 'em. People paid a bit more attention to what he said then to what she said, but they basically think he's in it for the money. In the long run he just didn't do the administration any harm. People do think the administration basically wasn't paying enough attention to terrorism before 9/11, but aren't seeing culpability there (though I see signs they may be looking towards the law enforcement community as a scapegoat: next week matters.) Interesting to me that 70% of Democrats think the administration wasn't paying enough attention prior to the attacks. I just have to wonder how much support there would have been, in a world without the demonstrable proof of the attacks, for doing the things that had to be done to protect us. In fairness, note that no one seems to think the Clinton administration did enough either. Also note that in the aftermath of Madrid there is real concern that there will be attacks here before the election (and I think the key word in those questions is "election." I wonder if you had asked people "before the fall" or even "before November" if you would have seen results this high.) WARNING: Once you start messing around on this site pollingreport.com you may well find yourselves wast -- er, I mean, spending a half an hour looking up America's favorite rock stars of the last twenty years or something. The data dump on this site is truly impressive. And addictive.
