Dilbert Guy’s economic poll on McCain, Obama
Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, and CNN have commissioned a survey of 500 economists from the American Economic Association.
Below are their economists’ opinions for which candidate will do better on a set issues; Obama is favored for 11 of 13 issues, including the mortgage housing crisis (41% to 18%) and reducing the deficit (37% to 29%) and Wars and Homeland Security (58% to 30%).

“Nationally, most economists are male, and I’m told that most are registered as either Democrats or independents. Our sample reflects that imbalance:
48 percent — Democrats
17 percent — Republicans
27 percent — Independents
3 percent — Libertarian
5 percent — Other or not registered
Eighty-six percent of our economists are male, and 65 percent work in the field of academia or education. The rest are spread across various industries or not working.”
So your point is a democrat cartoonist has determined that democrat economists in education and academia (some not working) think Obama is better for the country in 11 of 13 issues? What did you expect?
