Do low information voters even know what Lobbyists do? |
|
One of our attacks to discredit McCain's "maverick" campaign is to highlight his close ties to Lobbyists.
But I am wondering if truly uninformed voters even know why this is bad.
Maybe Obama needs a little A-B-C session on who lobbyists are and why their interests often collide with those of the average American.

2. I bet they "know" lobbyists == "bad." |
|
Sort of like they "know" tax-cuts == "good." and "big govt" == "bad," etc.

4. Low Information Voters--LIV's--I think you're on to something! |
|
Maybe that should be a polling category from now on;
"Among Low Information Voters, Candidate M is leading in polls by a wide margin."

8. It's bad because McCain claims to oppose special interests (lobbyists) |
|
but he hires those same lobbyists to run his campaign. It undermines his credibility.
