Yes, that headline was intended as sarcasm. CNN has a new poll out that’s about as useless as you’d imagine a poll of Republican voters on the the 2016 presidential field would be. But if it is instructive of one thing, it’s a reminder to those of us who live and breathe politics that people in the rest of the country have other things on their minds.

For instance, you’ll often hear people in Washington debate whether Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s 2009 State of the Union response will doom his candidacy. But according to the CNN survey, 45 percent of Republicans haven’t even heard of Jindal, let alone a speech he gave over four years ago.
