Conservatives Finish 2009 as No. 1 Ideological Group [due mainly to conservative Independents]

The guess here is that the data, though seemingly good news for conservatives, is really even a little better than the Gallup results taken at their face value. That’s because the bias of the polls would likely be in a leftward direction, based on the identity of the poll takers. Plus, looking at it from an electoral standpoint, this is a poll of the general population, not likely voters; conservatives, especially this year, are statistically more likely to vote than are moderates or liberals.

My pleasure.

I think you’re correct.

RE :"Quit whining, troll." and "You’re acting like a liberal. Making this about personalities and parties instead of about principles."

I got exactly the same meaningless annoying empty posts on another thread all afternoon by the same poster. Your responses above were better than mine, to the point.
