The Latest Poll

John Kerry can take heart. He is polling well among Taiwanese 7-year-olds. In a poll conducted this week, Kerry was preferred over Bush by a margin of 40% to 56%, with a margin of error of +/- 4%.

Polling was conducted in the classroom, with each student receiving one poker chip to cast into the appropriately labeled Cheez-ball can of their choice. Due to communication difficulties, more detailed follow-up questions were not asked. We stuck to the the simple: "Do you like this one, or this one?" I did not tell them which one to choose. Balloting was done in secret, behind the whiteboard.

From the results of this poll, we can infer that Kerry is doing pretty well, and that Bush has a lot of ground to make up here. If I were his advisor, I would recommend lollipops.
