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.
What purpose does polling this question serve?
Amen.
Bush did not know. That said, nothing but nothing from any American “plot” could’ve led 4 teams of suicidal Islamonazis to carry out this act.
“we knew but let it happen”.
The threat is real and the Left hates “the Right” more than they hate terrorists.
So this 22% thinks that after 8 months in office, Bush had the intelligence on the plot, but after 8 years in office, Clinton was clueless? (Actually, this seems a little more plausible...)
Ask them if they believe man causes global warming AND if they believe Bush knew in advance about 9-11.
Link up the conspiracies.
BDS.
Well, then this means that 88% think he didn’t know. Pretty good stats.
I wonder what the demographics are? What are the particulars of the poll?..........
Did I ever tell you about what I saw back in 1965? (running for cover)
“22% Believe Bush Knew About 9/11 Attacks in Advance”
What is the percent of our population that is demonstrably retarded, Alex?
Sorry I meant 78%. Still good.
Wow.
LSD was legal back then...
The 35% of Democrats who think Bush knew of the 9/11 attacks in advance will be selecting the Democratic nominee for president in 2008. They are the primary voters. That should give you pause, as they say.
That just proves that you have to be mentally unbalanced to be a democrat.
You know, democrats..
And not a few RINOs..
I was 13.
