Missing Scripps Howard Poll Data (36% of US believes in *IHOP)
Being the Public Policy Researcher that I am, I got into a discussion with my boss one day about the Scripps Howard survey which found 36% of America believing in either LIHOP or MIHOP. The exact question was:
There are also accusations being made following the 9/11 terrorist attack. One of these is:
People in the federal government either assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop the attacks because they wanted to United States to go to war in the Middle East.*
Very likely 16%
Somewhat likely 20%
Not likely 59%
Don't know 5%
*This question had 992 respondents; it was part of a survey posted on newsPolls.org on July 6, 2006.
