"Although liberal New Yorkers tried to pretend Republicans had hijacked a local issue to score cheap points nationally, polls showed New Yorkers overwhelmingly opposed the Muslim community center, which, in fact, would be located several blocks from the site."
— Harry Siegel I think you are a good columnist but 52% of people opposed with a 2.9% margin of error does not “overwhelm” me. Just say “a majority.” (Also the poll was taken in August after months of conservative professional anti-Islam bigots lying repeatedly and at length about the project, which could arguably be described as Republicans successfully hijacking a local issue. Though the Post started it so it was perhaps done to score cheap points locally.)
