It’s criticized here and here. I think the wording of the question makes it worthless. (It’s question 36 here.) The Post asks: “Would you support or oppose changing Senate rules to make it easier for the Republicans to confirm Bush’s judicial nominees?” The question should have been something like “Would you support or oppose changing Senate rules so that judges can be confirmed by majority vote?” I’m sure the results would have been very different.
