Well, bedreviter (Norwegian for Besserwisser for those interested!) obviously botched the numbers, since the poll reported 70% voting for left-leaning parties, not on SV alone (basically filthy communists). If you look closer at the numbers you'll notice that SV is massively overrepresented in that 70% number though. The poll reveals that SV would gotten about 25% of the journailst vote, which is 3 times as high as in the general populace. AP, Norway's biggest political party (socialist leaning), would have gotten around 42% of the vote. Higher than what they would score among the general populace (about 1/3), but nowhere near as severe as the discrepancy for SV.

[/ QUOTE ] You're not doing much better than bedreviter. The poll is from 2003. In 2003 SV had support from about 20% of the population (I refer to the second link I posted above). So 20% in the general population, 25% among journalists. Hardly anything to make a big fuss about.
