Most in U.S. Hopeful?

I don't have a lot to say about the election. Democracy at work, some people are pleased and some are not. But the current (as of 10:19am) front page blurb from CNN is so utterly stupid that I had to at least point it out:

A post-election poll indicates most of those surveyed are hopeful the country will be drawn together during President Bush's second term. Just over half -- 51 percent -- said they were pleased with the outcome of the election; 38 percent said they were upset.

Wow, 51 percent were pleased with the outcome! You think it might be the same 51 percent that voted for the guy who won? How can CNN write something like that without comment? It's just silly.

Granted, within the article itself there are some statistics to support the "most of those surveyed" notion: 57 percent expecting more unity, 74 percent seeing this election as fair and square. But the fact that 51 percent of the electorate is pleased with the outcome is just such a mindnumbing truism that I can't believe it is the current lede on the front page of CNN.
