NYT Poll Doesn't State The Obvious On Bill Clinton

  The New York Times did a few more outtakes on their recent polls in today's newspaper and they stated the obvious facts. But they did forget something.

One other place where there was a notable, though not exactly shocking divergence, in the views of Republicans and the electorate at large: Former President Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton’s unfavorable rating among the general public was at 38 percent; but 76 percent of Republicans said they had an unfavorable view of him.

   This is all well and good but I guess that it slipped past the NYT people that if 38 percent of the general public had an unfavorable rating on Bill Clinton, then 62 percent had a good view of him give or take a few points.

   As far as the Republicans are concerned, they have an unfavorable view of anyone who isn't a Republican so their opinions should not count in a poll such as this.
