A quick update on Friday’s post on what polls had to say about how liberal Americans reacted to 9/11. In their weekly column, The Nation’s Pulse ($), the pollsters at the Gallup Organization added their own data to the debate:
Gallup researchers looked back at polling data from the weeks and months just
after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Certainly, it is not appropriate to
say that liberals and Democrats did not support the administration’s military
response in Afghanistan at that time. A Gallup Poll conducted Oct. 19-21, 2001,
showed 93% of conservatives, 90% of moderates, and 80% of liberals approving of
military action in Afghanistan.

I thought Rove was talking about what some liberal leadership was saying- like Soros, MoveOn, Kucinich, etc.
I think they have a list of quotes somewhere.
Interesting that the bigwigs weren’t in touch with the liberal voters.
