You rule LJ! I was just about to get ready to write about this. Thanks for posting it.
One thing I will caution us all about this poll is that it’s a really, really small sample. The GOP sample was only 215 people spread among the five states. So for example, a total of 21 GOP’ers were sampled from SC total; from Virginia it was 32, etc…

Why does VA hate Rudy?
Why does GA hate its native son?
What the heck is Frist doing in there?

Wow that’s a small sample. I don’t know much about polling processes but that seems be small enough to lead to some reasonable questioning. But I defer to someone with more knowledge on the topic.

Small sample + Frist presence = pointless poll

Are you sure this isn’t some old poll from a few moths ago?

Poll of adults + small sample = waste of bandwidth

Out of the 200 some odd declared Republicans in the poll, over 100 (52%) still have not made up their mind about which candidate to support. That’s one of the highest undecided rates I’ve seen for a poll.

This poll is wierd. I’m not taking any stock in it if there are only 20 or 30 people for each of the data sets. And what the heck is FRIST doing in there?!
