Zogby pollee checks in

Posted at 11:49 AM on October 5, 2006 by Bob Collins

Received this in my inbox a bit ago from someone who was one of the people polled in the Zogby 6th District poll.

Last weekend, I received a call from the Reuters/Zogby poll about Bachmann /Wetterling. By very off chance, I was both at home and within hearing range of the phone.

They asked my age, ethnicity, how often I shopped at Wal Mart, family income range, religious background, and opinion (very favorable to very unfavorable) of both Bachmann and Wetterling.

At least once a week, our household receives a mailing from the National Republican Congressional Committee -- Patty Wetterling hasn't voted in recent past elections; she ships jobs overseas (one graphic an airplane, one graphic a ship); and liberal Patty Wetterling will raise taxes. Singlehandedly.

Just FYI. And in case you haven't noticed, the NRCC is populated primarily by scumbags.

I don't think that last part was in the poll.
