Poll: 35% blame Palin for Tucson shooting
Salon ^ | January 17, 2011 | Justin Elliott




This new CNN poll on the Tucson mass shooting seems like bad news for Sarah Palin:

QUESTION: Overall, how much do you blame each of the following for the shooting in Arizona -- a great deal, a moderate amount, not much, or not at all?

The laws under which guns are bought and sold in this country

Great deal 30% ... Moderate amount 22% ... Not much 14% ... Not at all 33%

The use of harsh rhetoric and violent metaphors by politicians and commentators

Great deal 25% ... Moderate amount 23% ... Not much 17% ... Not at all 32%

A map on Sarah Palin's website that marked 20 congressional districts, including the district represented by the congresswoman who was shot, with an image that looked like the crosshairs of a gun

Great deal 19% ... Moderate amount 16% ... Not much 15% ... Not at all 44%

The resources available to deal with people who may be mentally ill

Great deal 41% ... Moderate amount 29% ... Not much 13% ... Not at all 15%

So a substantial minority -- 35 percent -- blame the Palin map either a great deal or a moderate amount for what happened in Tucson.

Unreal.... Only 44% of americans believe she had NOTHING to do with it.

The rest split between the other 3 options, all of which assigned SOME blame.

I actually believe her target chart had nothing to do with it as well... the dude worked with the lady.

Which republicans have come fwd and said it's bullshit (besides FOX employees?)  Any 2012 repub contender who remains quiet, well, he endorses the left wing tactics.  Rubio and Romney hiding in the middle east, huh?  ;)

this is a great example of why not to pay attention to most polls

does anyone know the % of people that still think Iraq was involved in 911 or that we found WMD'S

beliefs are a weird thing

especially beliefs that lack evidence or are contrary to evidence

I think it was 44% believed it... 44% disagreed, and the rest unsure.

Cheney's PR machine - while completely full of shit - was effective enough to get the support needed for this war.

Rob - I'm talking about the % of people who still believe these things today

it should be 0% but it's closer to 50%

people still believe these two things all these years later

People are sheep and easily coerced.
The media does it to everyone every single day.
