Poll: Has Murdoch Improved the 'Journal'?

Lately, I've noticed a lot of people saying, whether in private conversations or in published columns, that they think The Wall Street Journal has only gotten better since Rupert Murdoch started remaking it to his tastes. This in contrast, of course, to the widely-voiced fear that Murdoch the Arch-Vulgarian would turn it into a business-news version of one of his tabloids, Page 3 girl and all.

I could tell you my opinion, but I'd rather hear yours. Do you think the Journal is really better now than it was pre-News Corp., or is it just fashionably contrarian to say so? Go here to vote in our poll, and, if you'd like to elaborate, email me. I'll print the best responses (anonymously, at your request) when I run the poll results. □
