	Poll on Vegetarianism in the US -- The Vegetarian Resource Group
		We are currently polling teens and children and will furnish these figures in a future issue of the Vegetarian Journal.
		Whenever you consider poll results such as these, be sure to remember the margin of error, which can make a great deal of difference, especially in subgroups.
		According to this poll, the people most likely to never eat meat, poultry, or fish are those living on both coasts, residents of large cities, and women working outside the home.

	CNN.com - Poll: Nation split on Bush as uniter or divider - Jan 19, 2005
		The results nearly match those of a poll taken in October 2004, which showed 48 percent considered Bush a "uniter" and 48 percent called him a "divider," with 4 percent having no opinion.
		Bush's inauguration was viewed by 69 percent, more than two-thirds of respondents, as a celebration by the winning presidential candidate's supporters rather than a celebration of democracy by all Americans, as 29 percent saw it.
		Another 20 percent said it is acting as commander in chief of the military, up from 9 percent in a poll taken eight months before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

	IRI : IRI in the News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Despite the continuation of terrorist violence, which the IRI poll indicates has eroded confidence in the Interim Iraqi Government and support for the Interim Prime Minister, over 64 percent of Iraqi's believe that their lives will improve over the next 12 months.
		IRI's poll also suggests that Iraqi voters are far less attracted by politically militant forms of Islam than many in the West have suggested.
		While 40 percent of poll respondents indicated that the endorsement of a cleric or religious organization would make them more likely to support a candidate, 52 percent of respondents expressed the opinion that religion and government should respect each other, but remain separate.

	Harris Interactive \| The Harris Poll - Bush’s Convention Bounce Vanishes as Race Tightens
		These are some of the results of a nationwide poll of 1,018 U.S. adults surveyed by telephone by Harris Interactive® between September 9 and 13, 2004.
		Obviously, this small lead is well within the possible sampling error of the survey (however, it would be incorrect to label even a one-point lead, as some media have done in the past, a "statistical dead heat").
		Figures for age, sex, race, education, number of adults, number of voice/telephone lines in the household, region and size of place were weighted where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population.

	CNN.com - Kerry leads Bush in new poll - Feb. 3, 2004
		The poll, based on interviews with 1,001 adult Americans, including 562 likely voters, was conducted in the days after the New Hampshire primary.
		The poll underscores both Kerry's momentum after his wins in New Hampshire and Iowa, and increased favorability among Democrats in general as they dominate political news with their primaries and steady criticism of Bush.
		The poll also showed the nation evenly divided -- 49 percent to 49 percent -- on the question of whether it was worth going to war in Iraq, marking the first time approval of the war has dropped below 50 percent.

		These results are from an ABCNEWS poll conducted among a random, representative sample of 2,737 Iraqis in face-to-face interviews across the country from Feb. 9-28.
		The poll finds that 78 percent of Iraqis reject violence against coalition forces, although 17 percent — a sixth of the population — call such attacks "acceptable." One percent, for comparison, call it acceptable to attack members of the new Iraqi police.
		The poll was conducted among Iraqis age 15 and up; those under age 18 accounted for 10 percent of the total sample (their attitudes are not strikingly different from their elders').

	Zogby International
		The poll is the first of its kind conducted in America that surveys attitudes regarding US government complicity in the 9/11 tragedy.
		David Kubiak, executive director of 911truth.org, the group that commissioned the poll, expressed genuine surprise that New Yorkers' belief in the administration's complicity is as high or higher than that seen overseas.
		There was no US coverage of this startling poll or the facts supporting the Canadians' conclusions, and there has been virtually no debate on the victim families' scores of still unanswered questions.

		The president has claimed a mandate from the election, but the poll found as much division today as four years ago over the question of whether Bush or Democrats in Congress should set the direction for the country.
		On Social Security, the poll offered mixed findings that underscore the enormous challenge facing Bush at the start of what both parties see as the most significant legislative battle of the second term.

		The poll is the latest bad news for Kerry from a state he all but needs to win, a state where polls have shown him leading since June and where voters gave Democrat Al Gore a 5-point win over George W. Bush in 2000.
		The Free Press poll was taken Sept. 22-28 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
		While the new poll shows the economy is still the No. 1 issue for Michigan voters, it's the war in Iraq that divides them most, though more now support it.

		They include refusals to be interviewed (non-response), question wording and question order, interviewer bias, weighting by demographic control data and screening (e.g., for likely voters).

		ICR’s pre-debate and post-debate Presidential tracking polls are showing a significant drop in undecided voters corresponding with a significant increase in support of John Kerry.
		The ICR pre-debate and post-debate Presidential tracking polls therefore show the following change in vote preference: For registered voters there was a three and a half point drop in undecided voters, with a respective 2.8 percent increase of respondents who now say they will vote for Kerry.
		This difference between vote share before the debate and after the debate is outside the margin of error, which for both polls combined is +/-2.36 percent.
