This new NBC/WSJ poll finding that Hillary Clinton’s
positive rating has dropped to 37 (her lowest in seven years) and
that Barack Obama suffered negligible damage from the Rev. Wright
controversy seemed quite intriguing at first, until I read that it
“oversampled African-Americans in order to get a more reliable
cross-tab on many of the questions we asked in this poll regarding
Sen. Barack Obama’s speech on race and overall response to last
week’s Rev. Jeremiah Wright dustup.” Now it seems quite
useless.
UPDATE: In comments, a reader explains why it may not be useless.
UPDATE II: The pollster explains that backs were NOT over-represented in the overall numbers.
