22% Believe Bush Knew About 9/11 Attacks in Advance
Friday, May 04, 2007
Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.
Republicans reject that view and, by a 7-to-1 margin, say the President did not know in advance about the attacks. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 18% believe the President knew and 57% take the opposite view.
Overall, 22% of all voters believe the President knew about the attacks in advance. A slightly larger number, 29%, believe the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. White Americans are less likely than others to believe that either the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. Americans are more likely than their elders to believe the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance.
However, just 8% of voters say the CIA was Very Truthful before the War in Iraq. Another 33% believe the CIA was Somewhat Truthful. Most, 52%, believe the CIA was Not Very Truthful or Not at All Truthful before the War.
Still, 57% have a favorable opinion of the CIA. Thirty-six percent (36%) have an unfavorable view.
Former CIA Director George Tenet doesn’t fare so well. He is viewed favorably by 29% of voters and unfavorably by 49%.
Just 12% have followed news stories about Tenet’s new book Very Closely. Another 29% have followed the stories Somewhat Closely. Fifty-six percent (56%) have not been following the news stories about Tenet.
More accurate polling PING
22% are blithering idiots.
Frightening that there are that many insane people in the US, and almost all of them in the Democrat Party.
A Perfect example of Goebbell’s “Big Lie” concept...
You can get 22% to agree to just about any conspiracy theory: Elvis lives, JFK was killed by the CIA, McCartney is dead, 9/11 was an inside job... At least 78% are thinking clearly...
Where is that South Park clip when I need it...
22%? I didn’t know Rosie’s following was that large............as opposed to what’s following her......
This means, if you massage the 4.5% unemployment rate, that roughly 1 in four of the humans you interact with every day is a complete jackass.
I think that number is a bit low, actually.
Well, golly. Only 22%? MSM should really be ashamed of themselves. All the hard work they’ve put into it, and only 22%? Sheesh...
Okay, this ought to be an interesting thread.
I wonder if this is the same 22% who believe Elvis is still alive?
And 78% don’t believe he knew about it. So, what’s the point?
“Overall, 22% of all voters believe the President knew about the attacks in advance.”
That same 22% think Jon Stewart is reading the ‘real news’.
They think Rosie O’Donnell is a talk show host because she decided brain surgery was boring.
They think Keith Olbermann is Eric Clapton’s replacement as ‘God’.
And they believe Bush was ‘selected, not elected, and then Diebold rigged the 04 race’.
In short, the kooks here are the same old kooks from before, except they have child porn king Charlie Sheen backing them up....(eyes rolling)
100% of FR thinks Rosie is fat and ugly...........
“A Perfect example of Goebbell’s “Big Lie” concept...”
Exactly...
“Republicans reject that view and, by a 7-to-1 margin, say the President did not know in advance about the attacks.”
Who are the Republican morons?
What percentage believe in flying saucers?
Of have personally seen them?
Know-Nothings... same fools who fret over global-warming.
