Title: That NBC/WSJ Poll Post by: Howey on October 11, 2013, 12:38:02 pm The one that skewered the Republicans so bad? Here it is: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/A_Politics/_Today_Stories_Teases/Oct_poll.pdf Two things to point out: Interviews: 800 Adults, including 240 cell phone only respondent In a breakdown of employers, the following question was asked: Quote QF5 Do you or an immediate family member living with you work for the federal government or a state or local government? (IF YES, SPECIFY, ACCEPT ALL THAT APPLY) Total Yes 20 Yes, federal ................ 9 Yes, state .................. 8 Yes, local.................... 5 No .............................. 79 Not sure.................... 1 Please note: all results are shown as percentages unless otherwise stated. Now the righties are whining because a whole 20% of those questioned had someone in their family working for the government while only 8% of Americans are federal workers. More Republican math. The actual number of government employees nationwide is 17%. http://www.gallup.com/poll/141785/gov-employment-ranges-ohio.aspx |
