People are Stupid
Here’s some disturbing polling data from PollingReport.com (via Eschaton)
“As far as you know, how many of the September 11th terrorist hijackers were Iraqi citizens: most of them, some of them, just one, or none?”
| Most of them | 21% |
| Some of them | 23% |
| Just one | 6% |
| None | 17% |
| Don’t know | 33% |
(Knight Ridder poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates. Jan. 3-6, 2003. N=1,204 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.)
According to this poll, about half of those surveyed believed at least one of the hijackers was Iraqi and about one in five believe most of the hijackers were Iraqi.
Most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and none are know to be from Iraq.
