Three of Four Bush Supporters Still Believe in Iraqi WMD, al Qaeda Ties

Those are among the most striking findings of the survey, which was conducted in mid-October by the University of Maryland’s Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) and Knowledge Networks, a California-based polling firm.
