A Peek Under The (Biased) Hood Of The NYT/CBS Poll



"Allahpundit did a great job last night of dissecting the latest NYT/CBS poll based on its results from CBS’ reporting. The survey found that a large majority of their respondents support keeping current collective bargaining rights in the public sector (60/33), and a slightly smaller majority opposed cutting pay or benefits of public employees to close deficits (56/37). However, the New York Times published the actual sample, and it calls into question at least the magnitude of the results.

First, the partisan split in the sample gave a ten-point advantage to Democrats."
