Leaders Among Democrats and Independents --
Flemington, NJ, June 2, 2008 - A new national study conducted among 310 self-reported Democrats, Republicans and Independents indicated that after viewing segments of Senator McCain's remarks at the AIPAC Meeting in Washington DC earlier today, there was modest movement of support for Senator John McCain.
The study was conducted by HCD Research and the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion (MCIPO) earlier today to obtain Americans' perceptions of video segments of Senator McCain's remarks in Washington DC this morning.
While viewing segments of the speech, participants indicated their levels of agreement by moving their mouse from left to right on a continuum. The responses were recorded in quarter-second intervals and reported in the form of curves. To view agreement curves and detailed results go to: www.mediacurves.com
