The Mother Jones Poll

We’re sorry, but the MoJo Soapbox is closed until October 11 , while the MoJo Wire staff tabulates the results. Have a look below at last week’s questions, and be sure to come back on Friday, when the results will be posted, along with a new set of questions. In the meantime, check out the results of our first poll.
