One of the most interesting public polls I’ve seen this year was released last week by Quinnipiac University. The questionnaire went into detail on a number of issues, and the release included in-depth crosstabs, including partisan breakouts. I’ve often made the case that when Independents are closer to Republicans than to Democrats on an issue, […]
Chris Cillizza discusses this blog in The Fix today: The [folks] over at Public Opinion Strategies, one of the leading GOP political polling firms, have started their own blog designed to turn questions into answers — hence the TQIA blog. (The Fix loves acronyms.) The blog already has some interesting stuff on it including an […]
On March 3rd, when asked about the stock markets, President Obama responded by saying, “what I’m looking at is not the day-to-day gyrations in the stock market, but the long-term ability for the United States and the entire world economy to regain its footing.

President Obama: “What I’m looking at is not the date-to-day gyrations of the stock market…” Well, he should be. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped more than 2,500 points and lost 27{09f965da52dc6ab4c1643a77bd40d1f729d807040cd8db540234bb981a782222} of its value since November 5. Why is this important?

Wow, I had no idea so many Americans were as fixated on Duke University’s basketball team as I am, mesmerized by their resurgence (5-0) since the insertion of Freshman guard Elliot Williams into the starting line-up.
