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.
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.
The irony is that the same 22% who think Bush isn’t smart enough to chew gum believe he’s clever enough to pull off the biggest inside job of all time.
To bad you are not around to enjoy it.
I’m so sick of polls i could hurl.
Where’s the barf alert?
Probably so. Sure that these are the same that believe we never put a man on the moon.
probaly some idiot who was just agreeing with the idiotic liberals. they’re problay the same ones who believe FDR knew about pearl harbor.
With that many nutjobs running around loose, the wonder is that the Republic is in a good shape as it is!
I called him to thank him and said, "if this is true, WHY ARE YOU NOT GOING WITH ME TO THE GUN SHOW IN RALEIGH SAT A.M.???? He said "huh?" and I said, "look, if those guys are really that evil, should you not ARM yourself against their murderous tyranny? THAT is the reason why we second amendment types believe so much in arming ourselves. It is the last defense against tyrants, whether I buy into this particular conspiracy or not." He stopped a minute and said "I think you are right!"
I don't know if he will go, but it never hurts to have people fearful of too much government power. This will lead to government being respectfully fearful of the populace, which keeps them in check....., or at least, so thought our forefathers.
Irony is most often lost on the Dims...
They may be idiots but some of them still vote.
