Here's an article about this survey from yesterday:

Based on several nationwide surveys it conducted with California-based Knowledge Networks since June, as well as the results of other polls, PIPA found that 48 percent of the public believe US troops found evidence of close pre-war links between Iraq and the al-Qaeda terrorist group; 22 percent thought troops found weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq; and 25 percent believed that world public opinion favored Washington's going to war with Iraq. All three are misperceptions.

Funny, I don't see 9-11 in there anywhere. But, then again, you're probably one of those people who believe that Bush claimed the threat from Saddam was imminent (a lie misconception that Bob Edwards of NPR has repeated on-air). So much for NPR's reputation as promulgated by this push poll masquerading as a neutral survey.

Thanks for the heads up Howlin.

This survey or results of multiple surveys give the appearance that the people that were interviewed did not follow the news from any news outlet. Looks more like by word of mouth under the tree ramblings by individuals that are completely unaware of what is going on.
