The point of the post was to let people know that 39% of the people in that poll considered themselves conservative where as only 14% considered themselves liberal. It seemed like a relevant piece of information that had been left out.
Why would that matter? 47% of respondants voted for Obama and 46% for McCain. That’s pretty balanced as far as voters go.
Also worth mentioning is that 40% of Americans identify themselves as conservative whereas 21% as liberals. This poll, oddly enough, reflects that.
