Polls Say the Darndest Things

from The Gist Hosted by Peach Fish Productions

Forces for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, have taken control of significant parts of Iraq. Mike speaks with Slate's Fred Kaplan about who's to blame (hint: not Obama). We'll explore how unlikely political coalitions could unite to avoid pure chaos in the Middle East. For the Spiel, Mike shows that poll results are in the eye of the beholder.
