Recently, Grassroot Institute has been spreading the word about the results of the Reason Foundation’s poll on support for the President, government spending, and other current events. (You can see the Grassroot emails here and here.) With the President’s poll numbers dropping, the question of what the greater impact and importance of polling data might be was raised by Hawaii Public Radio.
