New Poll: How Obama Got Elected – Interviews with Obama Voters
Posted by Flap in Barack Obama, Sarah Palin
www.HowObamaGotElected.com by John Ziegler looks at how media coverage of the 2008 election impacted what Obama voters knew (or thought they knew) about the campaign.
John Ziegler is out with a new poll – you know the one that Zogby took the heat and pulled out of the gig. Captain Ed has a summary:
- Those “exposed†to Fox News got “congressional control†correct 64-25 (+39)
- Those “exposed†to CNN got “congressional control†correct 48-38 (+10)
- Those “exposed†to Network news got “congressional control†correct 48-39 (+9)
- Those “exposed†to print media got “congressional control†correct 52-37 (+15)
- Those “exposed†to MSNBC got “congressional control†correct 55-35 (+20)
- Those “exposed†to talk radio got “congressional control†correct 61-29 (+32)
Some interesting Sarah Palin observations:
- Women under 55 did worse than they might have by guessing on four of the thirteen questions, and yet 95% of them knew that Palin was the candidate with a pregnant teenage daughter. Even 95% of those in this demographic group who didn’t know “congressional control†got this question correct.
- Those “exposed†to MSNBC “scored†90% correct on the three Palin questions (including an incredible 98% on the “pregnant teenage daughter†question), while those not “exposed†to MSNBC averaged 84% correct on those three questions.
The GOP definitley needs to work on its communications shop and have a much better messenger.
DUH…….
