Here we are, less than four years after the biggest attack that has ever taken place against us, and 65% of the idiots who voted in that poll think that some Amnesty group with a political agenda- a group which hasn't investigated the situation anywhere near as much as the government has- is more accurate than the government.
You know, going by CNN.com polls, you'd think that 9/11 never happened. Either this is a nation filled with idiots that have totally forgotten what has happened, or DUmmies like to invade CNN.com in droves to distort the polls.
Bingo - and they all watch CNN!
Well, yeah. But, it is a CNN.com poll. A similar poll on FoxNews.com would likely get a much different result.
"DUmmies like to invade CNN.com in droves to distort the polls"
By jove I think you've got it!!
This is why we don't play anymore. We just let the DUers pump up the poll to the point it's so distorted - it's basically worthless. Perfect!

WASHINGTON, June 3, 2005 – The American public has more confidence in the military than in any other institution, according to a Gallup poll released this week. Seventy-four percent of those surveyed in Gallup's 2005 confidence poll said they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the military - more than in a full range of other government, religious, economic, medical, business and news organizations.
The poll, conducted between May 23 and 26, involved telephone interviews with a randomly selected sample of 1,004 people 18 and older, Gallup officials said. Those surveyed expressed strong confidence in the military, with 42 percent expressing "a great deal" of confidence in the military and 32 percent, "quite a lot" of confidence. Eighteen percent said they have "some" confidence, 7 percent, "very little," and 1 percent, "none."
Public confidence in the military jumped following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and has remained consistently high, Gallup officials noted. The 2002 survey reflected a 13 percent increase in confidence in the military over the previous year's poll. The public expressed a 79 percent high-confidence rate in the military in 2002, an 82 percent rate in 2003, and a 75 percent rate in 2004.
This year's 74 percent confidence level exceeded that of all 15 institutions included in the 2005 survey. Police ranked second, with 63 percent of responders expressing "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in them. Organized religion rated third, with 53 percent of responders expressing high confidence, and banks rated a 49 percent high-confidence rate.
Health maintenance organizations bottomed out the list, with just 17 percent of responders expressing high confidence in them. Big business and Congress tied for the second- and third-lowest rankings, with 22 percent of responders expressing "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in them.
The Gallup organization noted that public trust in television news and newspapers reached an all-time low this year, with 28 percent of responders expressing high confidence in them.
