\u2013 34 percent of conservatives have not read a book within the past year, compared with 22 percent of liberals and moderates.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Among those who had read at least one book, conservatives \u201ctypically read eight\u201d books in the past year. Liberals read nine, moderates five.<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201cBy slightly wider margins, Democrats tended to read more books than Republicans and independents. There were no differences by political party in the percentage of those who said they had not read at least one book.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pat Schroeder, president of the American Association of Publishers, attempted to explain the results: \u201cThe Karl Roves of the world have built a generation that just wants a couple slogans: \u2018No, don\u2019t raise my taxes, no new taxes. It\u2019s pretty hard to write a book saying, \u2018No new taxes, no new taxes, no new taxes\u2019 on every page.\u201d<\/p>\n

Responding to the poll, White House spokesman Tony Fratto attacked liberals for being too \u201clocquacious\u201d:<\/p>\n

Obfuscation usually requires a lot more words than if you simply focus on fundamental principles, so I\u2019m not at all surprised by the loquaciousness of liberals.<\/p>\n
