Americans say fair count more important than quick resolution - - - - - - - - - - - - By Will Lester Nov. 12, 2000 \| TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Americans by a 3-to-1 margin say it's more important to make certain the vote count in Florida has been fair and accurate than to resolve matters quickly, a poll suggests. The Newsweek poll said by a 72 percent to 25 percent margin that making sure the count is fair and accurate is more important. And the poll out Saturday said two-thirds of Americans think Al Gore did the right thing when he withdrew his concession in the very close presidential election that has not yet been decided. In a CNN-Time poll released Saturday, four in 10 said Gore should wait for any court decisions on contested ballots in Florida. A fourth said Gore should concede immediately, while another fourth thought he should concede if he loses the official vote that wraps up next Friday. More than half of those surveyed, 54 percent, said in the CNN-Time poll that George W. Bush should not ask for recounts in other states, which the Bush campaign has hinted it will do in Iowa, Wisconsin and New Mexico, where Gore came out ahead. Three-fourths in that poll if Bush is elected with fewer popular votes it would have no affect on his presidency, while under a fourth said it would make him less effective.
