Daily Kos: State of the Nation


http://www.dailykos.com/

Hi All-
If you say you don't care, there is something inherently wrong with you.
If you say you do care then you will be either condemned or applauded.

While the rest of these are not a surprise to anyone who pays attention, (and you should), I am having a real problem seeing that the #'s for people that are "likely to vote" are so dang low!
That says something awful about the ignorance and the apathy of our American public.

XOXO
Me


Perhaps 'apathy' should be a pre~existing condition???

Methodology

A total of 1200 adults nationally were interviewed by telephone. A cross-section of calls was made into each state in the country in order to reflect the adult population nationally.

The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than plus or minus 2.8% percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the “true” figure would fall within that range if the entire adult population were sampled. The margin for error is higher for any demographic subgroup, such as gender, race, or region.

Hmmm... Aside from bookmarking this site, what say you?

When will we learn?  Why have we not been taught to vote?
