Survey Says...
Check out this Newsweek survey. It's certainly unscientific, and given the rightward tilt of the other two weekly newsmagazines it's hardly surprising that more people who read Newsweek identify themselves as Democrats.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that of the 29% who say they get there news from cable TV, the entire sample population (24%) who identify themselves as Republican are included. If you're truly a Democrat or a liberal or just slightly connected to reality, the only reason to watch cable news is to document the atrocities and keep your heartbeat up. It could actually be a form of aerobic exercise.
Anyway, it's an interesting snapshot of boomers (I barely qualify but don't consider myself one) and their political thinking. And, as will all of these things, I suspect it's full of people's idea of what they should be vs. what they actually are.
And, only 53% suspicious of government? This government? They need to read the rest of the magazine and stop wasting their time on silly polls.
