Default Half of NYers Believe U.S. Leaders Had Foreknowledge of 9/11

Quote:
(Utica, NY) - On the eve of a Republican National Convention invoking 9/11 symbols, sound bytes and imagery, half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act," according to the poll conducted by Zogby International. The poll of New York residents was conducted from Tuesday August 24 through Thursday August 26, 2004. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of +/-3.5.

(DOWNLOAD COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF RESULTS)

The poll is the first of its kind conducted in America that surveys attitudes regarding US government complicity in the 9/11 tragedy. Despite the acute legal and political implications of this accusation, nearly 30% of registered Republicans and over 38% of those who described themselves as "very conservative" supported the claim.

The charge found very high support among adults under 30 (62.8%), African-Americans (62.5%), Hispanics (60.1%), Asians (59.4%), and "Born Again" Evangelical Christians (47.9%).

Less than two in five (36%) believe that the 9/11 Commission had "answered all the important questions about what actually happened on September 11th," and two in three (66%) New Yorkers (and 56.2% overall) called for another full investigation of the "still unanswered questions" by Congress or Elliot Spitzer, New York's Attorney General. Self-identified "very liberal" New Yorkers supported a new inquiry by a margin of three to one, but so did half (53%) of "very conservative" citizens across the state. The call for a deeper probe was especially strong from Hispanics (75.6%), African-Americans (75.3%) citizens with income from $15-25K (74.3%), women (62%) and Evangelicals (59.9%).

Aren't you the same guy who uses the large % of people who think Iraq was involved in 911 as an indication of a vast media campaign? Now you are using the same type of poll to "prove" that something is true?

So does that mean that Iraq really was involved in 911?

Has the media been pushing the "our gummint was involved in 911" angle? I haven't seen that. I have seen an attempt by the media to link Saddam and 9/11. Heck, they're doing it at the RNC - flagwaver central.

Only 10 bucks to borrow it? No thanks. I read it already (hence the "too" above).

Nice poll.

Q: Do you think that anyone in the government had any inkling that something like 9-11 *COULD* occur?
A: Well I guess there is was probably some guy at the CIA that thought this could happen.

Ok, Bob...run these scientific poll results showing how americans think the government was behind 9-11. The dumbasses that read our site will lap this garbage up without thinking and will post it to a bunch of other forums.
