MoveOn dot what?

There was an interesting tidbit buried in the latest poll (.pdf) from Fox News. Respondents were asked whether they have a "generally favorable or unfavorable opinion" about a variety of groups and institutions. The poll included MoveOn.org in the mix and found these results:

Favorable: 11%
Unfavorable: 22%
No opinion: 11%
Never heard of: 56%

In fact, the numbers were relatively steady among self-described Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, with a majority of each saying they had no idea what MoveOn is.

The poll was conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, following more than two solid weeks of intense media scrutiny of the group, and condemnations from the House, Senate, White House, and Republican presidential candidates.

It looks like the aggressive conservative push-back hasn't amounted to much. Even now, most folks just don't know, or don't care, who the group is.
