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.

“And they believe Bush was ‘selected, not elected, and then Diebold rigged the 04 race’.”

Yes, the very Diebolds THEY *insisted* we must all use now because of ‘00.

This survey proves, once again, that many (not all) Democrats are complete idiots.

I’d estimate that about 19% of Americans think that GWB piloted the planes into the buildings.

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.

I'll bet the 1-in-7 Republicans that polled the same way will also have a specific voting tendency in the primary election. Gee, I wonder who they support?

No. 100 years ago, we didn’t have all these America-hating communists in our very own midst, of our own “blood”.

You know, this is a good point.

There should be a “poll series” where some 10 questions are asked, maybe including 1 of these wacky thing like 9/11 conspiracy.

Most of the questions should be about basics of physics and so on, which are well-known (at least by physicists). There would be irrefutable evidence to say the person is “right” or “wrong”.

Then we can compare how stupid they are with how they answered the 9/11 question.

Amazing; but when you have people like Rosie and Babs giving these claims legitimacy the nitwits just run with it.

Old news. The "truther" episode of South Park proclaimed that 25% of the population is "effing retarded".

"Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure."

This just shows that 35% of Demagogues are so severely mentally impaired that they are unfit to run their own lives, much less the country. 26% of Demagogues are merely seriously mentally impaired, and while they may not need a straight-jacket yet, they cannot be entrusted with any decisions of significance.

This is shocking.

Only 40% of all Dimocrats are idiots?

I’d have put it at closer to 90%.

Hmm. I wonder how number that correlates with the number of folks who think that UFO’s are stored at a secret base in New Mexico.

I wonder if this is the same 22% who believe Elvis is still alive?

I'd love to see pollsters use questions like this and control for the responses! Wouldn't you just love to see that one more sentence: "Three-quarters of those 22% also believe Elvis lives"?

I honestly believe that 22% belong in Gitmo. These nut cases are dangerous to society. The hate spread by these wac jobs put the president in real danger.

Not to mention, with the help of the MSM, put our troops in danger, too.
