12. Thanks. Different poll is up on the OP link.

It was something like, "How satisfied are you with Congress' work so far?" 95% of respondents to that poll said they were not at all satisfied. LOL!

15. WTF? No need for a poll on this subject.

We've already got PROOF that it has made the terror threat WORSE. No amount of polling is going to change that. Shame on CNN. Once again.

16. CNN loves to do opinion polls on things which are actually facts

The Iraq war has made terrorism situation worse: it's been the conclusion of one Israeli, two American and two British defense think-tanks, a study by the Saudi government and 87 of 100 of America's top international relations experts polled by Foreign affairs -- this was significant because it's the consensus opinion of the United States' 16 intelligence agencies.

They might as well do polls like:
- Do you believe water freezes at 32-degrees?
- Is Paris Hilton the smartest person on Earth?
- Does a Hummer get great gas mileage?

17. Back up response with facts......why don't they ask?

They should ask those who voted "better" to state the reasons or facts for their decision.
