[lbo-talk] Bush among college students

[Doug Henwood]

The AAPOR-ites are raising serious questions about the recent poll of 
college students reporting them to be heavy Bush supporters. Two 
problems: 1) the sample was drawn from a universe covering only about 
a quarter of all college students, so there's no guarantee the sample 
was representative, and 2) 46% of respondents were first-year 
students, and since the poll was done in October, they'd been in 
college for no more than six weeks.

That doesn't necessarily mean the findings are wrong, but there are 
severe problems with the poll.
