Poll: Bush Lied About Iraq, Has No Right to Attack Iran - May 11, 2006
http://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_david_sw_060511_poll_3a_bush_lied_abou.htm

A new poll conducted in Pennsylvania by Zogby International and commissioned by OpEdNews.com asked some of the questions the corporate media has failed to ask. The answers are surprising. One revelation is this: the single greatest predictor of an American's political views is whether she or he watches Fox News.

One of the long neglected questions asked was this:

"Some people say that President Bush lied so that we would go to war with Iraq. Others say he was given faulty intelligence and did not intentionally mislead the nation."
51.8% told the pollsters that they agreed with "Those who say Bush lied."
44.8% agreed with "Those who say he did not intentionally mislead the nation."

Among those who said that they or a family member was a member of the military, 44.6% said Bush lied. Catholics, Protestants, and Born Agains leaned significantly toward trusting Bush, whereas Jews and atheists decidedly consider him a liar. Belief that Bush lied was highest among atheists, at 86.2%.

White people also are more likely to trust Bush, whereas all racial minority groups lean toward believing he lied. Hispanics lead the way at 88.2%.

6. That's why they're a favorite target of persecution and ridicule.

They ask too many questions, and authority never did like people who were "uppity."

2. The poll indicates which groups have the stupid people who would believe
anything. I'll bet marketeers pay attention to these poll for their own purposes.

3. White people are the most
misinformed. Probably because they watch Faux news.

4. 88% of Hispanics? Seems a little high
but if it isn't, I'm not complaining. It seems oversampled, though. Bush reportedly caught 40% of the vote in 04'? Does this mean a landslide turn around in the Hispanic vote?
