66 Bizarre National Polls and Odd Research

Everyone’s attention is currently focused on the presidential polls leading up to the 2008 election, but there are far more interesting national polls to study.

Those national polls are far more interesting than political ones.

There are a few national polls and studies in here that are somewhat relevant to politics.
