By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. Today’s reposting of a story that ran one year ago reinforces something we wrote about yesterday. CBS News touted that in its latest poll “Nearly two-thirds of Americans want Roe v. Wade kept in place.” We explained how the analysis of the survey missed all the truly important findings—all of …

By Dave Andrusko So how does CBS News headline its latest survey on abortion? “Roe v. Wade: Most support keeping it in place.”  True, but fundamentally misleading, as we’ll discuss in a moment.

The first, conducted by Marist for the Knights of Columbus, and the second, a poll taken by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
