I know this polls is ridiculous but......
August 19, 2005--Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who maintained an anti-War protest outside of President Bush's ranch, is viewed favorably by 35% of Americans and unfavorably by 38%.
Sheehan is viewed favorably by 34% of men and 35% of women. Forty-two percent (42%) of men and 34% of women have an unfavorable view.
In general, people see in Sheehan what they want to see. Opinion about Sheehan is largely based upon views of the War, rather than views about the woman herself. Democrats, by a 56% to 18% margin, have a favorable opinion. Republicans, by a 64% to 16% margin, have an unfavorable view. Those not affiliated with either major party are evenly divided.
People who think we should withdraw troops from Iraq now have a positive opinion of Sheehan (59% favorable , 12% unfavorable). Those who do not think we should withdraw at this time have a negative view (15% favorable , 64% unfavorable).
Among those with family members who have served in the military, Sheehan is viewed favorably by 31% and unfavorably by 48%.
Forty-two percent (42%) of Married Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Sheehan while 33% have a favorable opinion. Among those who are not married, Sheehan's numbers are 38% favorable and 30% favorable.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of Americans say they are following the Sheehan story somewhat or very closely. That is a lower level of interest than Americans have in stories about Iran's nuclear capabilities. It is roughly comparable to the interest in stories about Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.
News reports said that Sheehan left Texas yesterday (Thursday) to be with her mother who had suffered a stroke. Sheehan vowed to return as soon as possible.

Let me guess...a 4% margin of error.
She only has herself to blame for hitching her wagon up with the Michael Moore's and the moveon.org's of the world. Notwithstanding the fact that once the truth arose to the surface about her lunatic fringe left past, people got turned off by it.
You could get 38% of the people in the US believing that Osama was raped by Michael Jackson while playing golf with OJ......Those are the same who agree with the liberal spin.
Nope, Cindy was a faaaaaaaaar lefty, anti-war protestor, long before her eldest son even got out of high school; let alone joined up. Please don't be misled by the MSM! Read ALL of the articles about her here in FR!
The true unfavorables are probably much higher. Rasmussen was good in the last election, but his rating for Bush have been in the 43-44% range lately, so he's obviously been infected with the MSM bias too.
The MSM has tried very hard to resurrect the late 1960s, with this and failed. They never thought that that would happen. LOL
