| Poll: another US attack would help Bush, not Kerry |
| 2004-03-18 |
| EFL A terrorist strike on American soil before the November election would affect public opinion in a way that favors the re-election of President Bush over Senator Kerry of Massachusetts, a new poll suggests. In a nationwide survey conducted for the New York Sun, 39% of likely voters said they would be more likely to vote for Mr. Bush in the event of an attack, while 30% said they would be more likely to vote for Mr. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee. More Republicans, 71%, said they would be motivated to go to the polls to support their candidate in the event of an attack. That compared to the 58% of Democrats, who said an attack would make them more likely to vote for Mr. Kerry. Registered independent voters also said an attack would make them more likely to vote for Mr. Bush than for Mr. Kerry, 34% to 24%. The Bush and Kerry campaigns declined to comment on the poll results. My comment: We’re not tapas-eating appeasement monkeys. |
