One in Three in Poll Still Think Saddam Was Involved in 9/11


NEW YORK A New York Times/CBS survey released two days ago drew fairly wide attention for some of its big-issue results, concerning the president's approval rating, the party most favor in the November elections, what should be done about Iraq, and so forth.

But, as always, drilling deep into the questions -- available in PDF form -- proves especially valuable.

Who could guess, for example, amid pundit claims that most Americans favor harsh treatment of detainees abroad to help the war on terror, that 56% in the poll say that torture is always wrong and only 35% say it might "sometimes" be acceptable? By 63% to 32% they favor following international agreements on torture and not our own rules. And 49% want public criminal charges for terrorists as opposed to 46% favoring secret military proceedings.

One of the more amazing results, though much in line with other surveys, is that almost one in three still say that Saddam Hussein "was personally involved" in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S.

...

Other deeply buried results: 52% say that the Iraqis want the U.S. to leave Iraq; and only 42% feel that the terrorist threat to the U.S. would increase if we left Iraq right now.

Was this a Democrat-weighted poll? Some 7% more said they voted for Bush over Kerry and professed Republicans outnumbered Democrats by 2-1.

2. LOL ... it's ALWAYS one-third!

:rofl:

No matter what poll it is ...
Approximately one-third always support Bush or the RW agenda or they still believe the lies. It doesn't matter how many facts are revealed or how many times Bush betrays them and let's them down - the number stays the same.

So ... one-third of the people in this country are complete morons and it has become painfully obvious that they will never, EVER change! :dunce:

3. The intractable 30% that is the backwash.

The idiots that can never be persuaded and will happily follow Bush right over the precipice.

Coincidence? I think not.

5. It's a big damn idiot cult, isn't it? Doesn't speak well

for our country in any way. I can't get used to it at all. I can't get used to the fact any of this stupid shit is going on.

7. Great news!

It was over 60% - then 50% and now 33%...maybe we can get it down to 25% by election time!!!

8. 33% is the "kook-base"...the lunacy has bottomed and can't go

much lower.

[whistle]

9. The republicans have gone from putting hallucinogenics in their

...Kool Aid which has been served up at republican rallies, to adding the same stuff to the drinking water I guess. It now takes a strong antidote like reading the Hugo Chavez UN speech to counter it.
