ZDNet's Wikileaks poll: You're conflicted

Over the last three days, we conducted a global survey on our ZDNet properties. In the U.S. nearly 4,000 folks took the poll. Surveys were launched in Australia, U.K. France, Germany, Japan and broader Asia. We’ll wrap up the global view in a future post.

Here’s a look at the U.S. results and where you stand. For starters, 51 percent of you agreed with the publication of confidential documents. Forty-six percent of you said Wikileaks shouldn’t have published the documents. A few of you had no opinion. These results aren’t all that surprising. If you asked me for thoughts on Wikileaks in the morning I’d say the docs should have been published. By the afternoon, I may have changed my mind. We’re conflicted.

A wider margin—59 percent of you—thought the Wikileaks documents were useful, but 53 percent said that the organization was motivated by the desire to inform.

This is a much larger sampling then the recent CNN pole - but with VASTLY different results
