I've read USA Today within the last month. I've probably only glanced at parts of it 3 or 4 times in the last year, always while in a restaurant where a free copy is lying around. But that hardly qualifies me as a "USA Today reader".

What if the InfoWorld pollsters would have asked the "IT Managers" whether they've read MacWorld in the last month? What if 51% of them had glanced at it? Would that justify stating that the votes are representative of MacWorld readers?

I don't think so.
