What percentage of Americans think it is important for the U.S. to stay in Iraq and finish the job they started?
Adults 11%
Male 5%
Female 16%
Aged 18-29 17%
Aged 65+ 10%
White 8%
Black 26%
Republican 10%
Democrat 12%
Household income less than $20,000 13%
Household income more than $100,000 13%
Yes but he gave the woman last night that the poll was a good cross section.
Second point stands, even more so. It’s CBS— what do you expect?
Either that or there’s a typo somewhere.
“Its CBS what do you expect?”
Heh, exactly what I saw. You know even liberals are reading that crap and calling BS.
Either CBS is trying to “teach” people with lies or CBS is running a bogus game show...or both. Probably both. ;)
According to the Power of 10 website, they use Rasmussen Reports for their data collecting and processing.

The only problem is that Rasmussen reports posted the results of the poll on its own website, and the *ACTUAL* number was 36%:
“Currently, 36% of American adults take an entirely different view and believe that the troops should remain in Iraq until the mission is complete.”
I sent an email to Rasmussen and to Newsbusters asking them to address the discrepancy. I didn’t feel like wasting my time emailing CBS.
So C “BS” gets caught lying again...
If this is the correct answer, that means the girl on the show got shafted! She guessed between 16-36% which means she would have gotten $100,000.
If I had been the contestant and they threw me that percentage, my response probably would've ended up on the cutting room floor.
If she missed out on the $100,000 because CBS lied about the polling results, she ought to sue CBS citing Rasmussen’s numbers as “proof” that she was screwed.
I can't believe that someone she knows wouldn't have checked that answer out, considering that even Drew Carey looked like he was shocked at the low percentage.
Any attorneys on here want to make an easy buck?
Prove that CBS either lied or failed to actually use the polling data they claimed they used, and you win.
