TIME Magazine Polls

I find polls very intriguing. Some times they are hard to evaluate on accuracy. I find these interesting primarily because of the shear number of those polled. Most polls conducted evaluate 800 to 1000 people. I would assume, maybe incorrectly, that these polls represent more of a feeling of what people think rather than showing those that follow issues and are well informed. I also think it is interesting what the stats show for each state as patterns. It is easy to see that Oklahoma, as a rule, is not really pro-government at all.

Most of these questions were posed in the last quarter of 2009, others in the first of 2010. A little challenge: I grouped these polls by topic but not according to date. Those of you who are familiar with these issues may likely be able to tell even what month a particular question was asked.
