Parsing the Polling Data

I was never particularly interested in voter polls until I read Ruy Teixeira's book "The Emerging Democratic Majority." Ruy publishes an informative blog called Donkey Rising. Today he takes a closer look at yesterday's Washington Post poll and notes that indendendent voters seem to be giving up on Bush. He directs the reader to the poll itself because "the Post makes basic crosstabular information from their polls available interactively on their website." Try this exercise. Go to the interactive poll. Click on the first question, and select "results by party." Then select "results by age." What group of independent adults do you suppose strongly disapproves of the way Bush is handling his job the most? Did you guess "over 61"? Neither did I.
