Okay, I went back. Those 3s and 5s look similar without the lenses to help. But I read it this time without the glasses also. Go figure--my eyes get better after a while without the glasses unless I'm tired. . . I didn't feel like scrounging around the house to find my office glasses (they only work for close up reading and the computer screen) and I had taken off my "regular" glasses because they give me a horrible crick in the neck if I use them at the computer. Aging eyes. It's the pits.

Well, I must say I'm glad to see Clinton come out ahead, even if I still don't think that a single number really tells us much. There are general vaguarities and ways to slant popularity polls during all of these administrations. Every generation has it's way of skewing the numbers. There are aspects of self-fulfilling prophecy after a while that lead the gullible to the polls.
