    I know people in my timeline think the Khans are powerful. I do too! But are polls showing that among low-info voters?

        Polling "low-info" voters. Based on income, education level? How is that determined? Don't see that in cross-tabs. Serious Q.

        It's like my hobby. I was asking a technical polling question, which is also a hobby for me. Maybe I am asking wrong person.

        A case can be made that both parties have their share of "lo-info" voters. I just don't know how that is objectively measured.

        Was agreeing with you. I agree that both parties have lots of low info voters.

        OK, didn't read like that initially. Guess Twitter isn't the best platform for true understanding. Thanks :)

        This seems not an info thing though -- if ppl get story at all, Trump behav looks shameful & cruel, just on human level.

        I fear the Khans go through the filter as, "Muslims attack Great Leader Trump"

        @robertcaruso Depends on which Kahn. I know the wife of the former Paki embassdor to New Delhi, so SHE is powerful.

        I think it's their implacable dignity in the face of the Trump hysteria that's so moving. FIN.

        who are particularly low-info if they were watching DNC on Fox: they cut to 36hr-old "breaking" story during speech.

        all those voters that I know are asking why the press didn't lavish attention on the Benghazi parents at the RNC.

        idk maybe because Hillary didn't immediately attack the Benghazi parents?

        My guess is to soon. Monday morning shows and who/what discuss it will be key I think. I’m not plugged into Vets community. So?
