*UPDATE* – Here is the direct link to the Zogby Ziegler media poll that goes along with the video below.
Think that’s crazy? Check out some of the alarming stats they found in the Zogby poll they commissioned after the leap.
Zogby Poll
512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points
97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates
Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions
57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
And yet…..
Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her “house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we “gave” one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

This is a very discouraging video and statistics. But the statistics were presented in a very prejudicial way.
Let’s use the Biden plagiarism line:
81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
Had they said, “18.2% knew that Joe Biden quit…” it would not appear quite as bad as it seems saying it the way they did.
But what this poll indicates is that the media was incredibly effective in getting the negative message about McCain and Palin and they buried the negatives on Obama and Biden. No shocker there. But the people making the video did a wonderful job of finding the completely ignorant to interview.
Of course, 1 in 5 Mitch voters showed the same ignorance by voting for Obama…
