You're the lawyer. :) What's the difference between that data and my IM taken from the Gallup Poll?

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Dec 9 '10, 06:45

85 percent of Republicans supported extension of tax cuts; 52 percent of Democrats did.

Responses:

his avoids the false dilemma presented by Gallup by including the policy options that were actually under consideration, rather than presenting it as - znufrii Dec 9, 06:54 6
- same question I raised to Jack below - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:57 5
  - I'm ignoring the unemployment question altogether, and focusing solely on their approach to the tax cut issue. - znufrii Dec 9, 06:59 4
    - They included the middle option. That's 1 primary difference, yes. - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:07 3
      - and all I'm saying is that the false dilemma explains the difference. The results are not comparable as they are not actually asking the same question - znufrii Dec 9, 07:10 2
        
        I understand. Jack's use of the word "hostage package" above made me think both of you were including the unemployment benefits + the tax extension. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:14 1
        
        My mistake was assuming you and Jack were coming from the same angle. - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:19

85% of Republicans can't figure out how budgets work. (nm) - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:47 1
- I was hoping for a serious response... I'll resume the snarkiness if that's how we're playing today. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:50
