Yes, EmmaB, that's it. IMO, it is the most credible because it isn't looking to measure just the transitory. It would be a rough equivalent to that polling that is done every few years in Europe, the name of which fails me right now.

It shows a much more realistic "snapshot" of where Americans are at on a number of values and opinions, including the very best polling research on American values in religion and politics.

The thing I fear most with the Obama supporters is, they are as blindly loyal to Obama, as Bush's Republican counterparts were when he first came to power. And that is just a frightening scenario, regardless of political affiliation, IMO.
