http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Pres_Election_04/Report10_21_04.pdfHere are some excerpts, too:
*A large majority of Bush supporters believe that before the war Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or a major program for building them.
*A substantial majority of Bush supporters assume that most experts believe Iraq had WMD and that this was the conclusion of the recently released report by Charles Duelfer.
*A large majority of Bush supporters believes that Iraq was providing substantial support to al Qaeda and that clear evidence of this support has been found.
*Bush supporters lean toward overestimating support in Islamic countries for US-led efforts to fight terrorism, while Kerry supporters do not.
*Bush supporters believe that world public opinion favors Bush’s reelection.
*Majorities of Bush supporters misperceive his positions on a range of foreign policy issues.
So - this report begs the questions: Why are Bush supporters adhering so strongly to beliefs that have been disproven? And -- how is a reasonable, factual discussion possible with someone who clings to these untruths?
