Keep sanity and/or fear alive!
The new ABC/Washington Post poll contained this question:
(ASKED OF REGISTERED VOTERS) Just for fun, if the 2012 presidential election were being held today, and the candidates were the television personalities (Jon Stewart) and (Stephen Colbert), for whom would you vote – (Stewart) or (Colbert)? IF OTHER, NEITHER, DK, REF) Would you lean toward (Stewart) or toward (Colbert)?
The result: Among registered voters, Stewart 42% to Colbert 22%. An additional 17% said neither, 3% would not vote, and 14% had no opinion.
Among the narrower poll of likely voters — which has shown a severe enthusiasm gap for Democrats this year — Colbert naturally closes the gap, but only slightly: Stewart 39%, Colbert 22%, plus 20% neither, 4% who would not vote, and 15% no opinion.
