Public Policy Polling included a question about the rivals’ hairstyles, following Fiorina’s remark that Boxer’s hair is “so yesterday,” and found that 19% of registered voters actually like Boxer’s hair better. Only 14% prefer Fiorina’s, and 67% “were ‘not sure,’ which just goes to show you how politically illiterate people are,” writes Max Read on Gawker. Proving Fiorina’s catty remark even less accurate, 26% of young people preferred Boxer’s hair, while 3% liked Fiorina’s better. The question is “not something we would normally ask, but Carly Fiorina made Barbara Boxer's hair into a bit of an issue,” the PPP communications director tells Talking Points Memo. “I think the whole story was silly, so we asked a silly question.” Click here to hear from one writer who doesn't think it's so silly.
