CBS News analysis: Most Republicans agree with "poisoning the blood" language

That's the headline CBS led with, sort of a buzzy lead...

But I'd say this polling and results presentation is actually quite decent, in attributing the participant pools (all registered voters, and likely Republican voters), and in the effort to get a representative sampling. Nothing much to quibble with though I'm left wondering a bit about the demographics of the respondents (by age, geography, SES, a few other details). Overall, I'd say this is impressive for a news organization, both in the efforts at decent social science and in the clarity of presentation, without over-concluding big 'shockers' or under-considering some of the key determinants. So I applaud it's effort at 'neutrality' or grand conclusions.

Thin-sliced: This seems to mirror other polling and the general observation of how key beliefs are distributed between likely voters.
Beyond that; 1) Things are very close, split nearly in half by party; and 2) That is... Very Interesting
