The latest New York Times/ CBS poll has some interesting things buried down deep in the full report. On page 29, we see that only 22% of those polled consider themselves politically liberal; 38% call themselves moderate; 33% conservative; and 7% didn’t give an answer. On page 27, we discover that 38% of those polled claim they attend religious services every week or almost every week, while 23% never attend. According to page 9 George W. Bush gets a lowly 22% approval rating, while page 17 reveals that Congress gets a dismal 15% approval rating.

One thing I love about the Web is that you don’t have to rely on the dumbed-down “stories” in which journalists “interpret” polls for us — you can look at the actual questions and responses — geek heaven! Link to the report.
