Poll on Miers Nomination

Earlier, I spoke of the blogger's poll Truth Laid Bear is doing on the Miers nomination (current results here). 

Professor Bainbridge is currently doing a reader's poll on the same subject.  Rather ironicly, his results show trending almost identical to the poll of bloggers.  You can vote or view the poll yourself.

I find the esteemed professor's homework assignment an intriguing one:

My reader's poll has been steady at 71% against the Miers nomination (go vote now), which oddly enough is almost exactly the same margin as in TTLB's blogger poll. Go find some polling data on how many self-identified Republicans regularly read blogs. Multiply that number by 71%. If the product is > 3% of the GOP base, my friend Hugh has a problem.

Is it coincedental that a) something like 70% of polls on Miers are on the No side,  and b) President Bush's poll numbers are among his lowest of his whole term.  There's more to poll numbers than just SCOTUS nominations, but I don't think this nomination has helped his numbers any.
