Asking the Right Question

The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press does polling, and they've asked an interesting question: "Do you enjoy keeping up with the news?" Then they've looked at the answers over time and by political affiliation. Find their research report here (scroll down); Pew summarizes the findings as follows:

Today, conservative Republicans enjoy keeping up with the news more than any other ideological and partisan group; just two years ago it was the liberal Democrats who held that distinction.

I'm not the only one who thinks this finding can be a significant predictor of the outcome in NOvember. A hat tip goes to Michael Barone of RealClearPolitics for describing the poll.
