37. Misrepresentation??? You decide....

Here is the SSRS / CNN poll report:

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25452471/cnn-poll-on-trump-transition.pdf

Question 2 is How closely, if at all have you been following news about Donald Trump's presidential transition:

Very Closely 28%
Somewhat closely: 45%
Not too closely: 20%
Not at all closely: 7%

The poll grouped this as (Very + Somewhat) = 73% vs (Not too + Not at all) = 27%.

Dworkin grouped this as (Very) = 28% vs (Somewhat + Not too + Not at all) = 72%.

I would say Dworkin's grouping is misrepresenting the poll's results. 73% of the respondents reported being in the top two categories, while 27% were not really following the transition. That's a complete flip from the way Dworkin characterized.
