if 68% of voters have an unfavorable opinion of Gingrich, but 39% of voters would vote for him vs. Obama, then at least 5% have an unfavorable opinion of him, but would vote for him anyway.
That makes sense. I imagine that there's plenty of hardcore conservatives out there now who can't stand most, if not all, of the candidates in the field, but would still vote for any Republican over Obama.
That's less strange than this stat from the 2008 MS Democratic primary:
Here's my favorite stat from the exit polls. If my algebra is correct:
14% of Clinton voters would be dissatisfied if Clinton wins the nomination.
2% of Obama voters would be dissatisfied if Obama wins the nomination.
A lot of this could be mischief making crossover GOP voters. Alternatively, it could just be Democrats who wish they had other choices. (The racist and sexist vote?)
Being *dissatisfied* if the person you're voting for actually wins the election you're voting in?......must just mean that you're dissatisfied with life.
