Believing stuff that just isn't true
This is the sort of thing that just makes me want to pull my hair out. From a poll taken just last week:
"Do you think Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon?"
all adults, 33% said yes
Republicans, 40% said yes
Democrats, 27% said yes
independents, 32% said yes
Gaaaaa!!! How, HOW, can we expect rational policy and meaningful elections when such a large segment of the population is so grossly ill-informed? I don't know which worries me more, that 4 out of 10 Republicans thought so or that even a quarter of Democrats did. I'd love to see the breakdown on answers vs. where people get their their news. We're doomed.
