In Case You Saw That Silly CNN/Time Poll...

Well, we finally have a poll saying what the Democrats wanted it to say.
Which, of course, means it's a bit of an outlier from the other polls we've seen.
The new CNN/Time poll has Strickland up 48/47.

Looking at the crosstabs, Strickland and Kasich are comparable with their partisans. Strickland wins Dems 93-5. Kasich wins GOPers 90-6.  It's the Independent number that proves interesting.  Kasich is winning Independents by a full 9 points, 51-42.  Obviously, if Kasich is winning Independents by this margin then it's clear that Democrats were sampled at a far higher rate than Republicans.

Not surprisingly, Obama is still very unpopular, with his approval rating coming in at 42-53 overall and 33-58 among Independents.  Meanwhile, Lee Fisher is still losing. Bad. In this poll he's 15 points back.
