Trolling through public opinion data this morning I came across this fascinating table from a recent Pew Survey.

This is either: a) evidence of the pitfalls of response rates below 30%; or b) a sorely needed reason to cancel my subscription to the New Yorker. We may also have George Stephanopoulos to blame.
