It’s not too late for Democrats

It’s been a rough summer for Democrats in Washington; even President Obama’s poll numbers are feeling the heat. Voters are irritated by a prolonged recession and by intractable squabbling in Washington. Populist anger over the lack of progress is likely a contributing factor to polls like the one released yesterday, showing

Skewed samples? Sort of (Updated)

Several readers have rightly pointed out that the Quinnipiac poll released this morning could have yielded somewhat innacurate results by including basically the same amount of Republicans and Democrats.
