NCSU poll finds people vote against their interests. (No kidding.)

NCSU News :: NC State News and Information Poll: Public To Vote Against Its Interests On International Trade:

On trade issues, people appear to be voting against their own interests,” says Dr. Michael Cobb, associate professor of political science at NC State and designer of the poll.

The poll also finds that the more people think about international trade agreements, the more they dislike them. “The more they dislike these kinds of agreements, the more likely they are to vote this year, and the more likely they are to support Burr,” Cobb says, “who is an advocate for the very free trade policies they dislike.”
