Released: October 22, 2003 I know its just John Zogby who is considered the most highly credentialed and objective pollster in the country. I only wonder why the Bush/Cheney would opt to ignore nearly 80% of its citizen's wishes Americans Favor Reduction in Global Warming by 4-1, New Zogby International Poll Reveals Americans Favor Reduction in Global Warming by 4-1, New Zogby International Poll Reveals Americans feel strongly that the United States should reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that are said to contribute to global warming. In polling conducted October 15 – 20 of 1,201 adults across the country, 79% said they favor a reduction, while 17% disagree. The telephone poll by Zogby International has a margin of error of +/- 2.8%. Three-fourths (74%) of the respondents support legislation proposed by Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) to require major industries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to year 2000 levels within the next seven years. One in five (18%) said they oppose such legislation. Two in three (67%) respondents agree with the statement that ‘addressing global warming by requiring major industries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can improve the environment without harming the economy.’ One fourth (27%) disagree, according to the poll. “The numbers speak for themselves. Americans want action now on global warming, and they clearly support the moderate approach being offered by Senators McCain and Lieberman,” said Jeremy Symons, climate change and wildlife manager for the National Wildlife Federation. “The Senate is expected to take a vote on the McCain-Lieberman bill by the end of the month. I hope lawmakers show the leadership the American public expects.” Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is favored equally in all regions of the nation. People ages 65+ (71%) don’t feel as strongly as respondents under 65 (83% average). More than four in five (84%) of union households favor a reduction, as do 77% of non-union households. Democrats strongly support a reduction (89%), followed by Independents (84%), and Republicans (65%). Women favor a reduction more than men, 84% - 72%. More than seven in ten (72%) self-described members of the ‘investor class’ favor greenhouse gas reduction, compared to 81% of non-investors. Nine in ten (89%) of Democrats say they support the McCain-Lieberman legislation addressing global warming, as do 83% of Independents. Slightly more than half (56%) of Republicans say they support the legislation. --- -JH

Rush Limbaugh is fair game to be bashed considering all the bashing he's done over the years. Live by the sword, die by it. I watched a show last night about Rush totally exposing his lie about doing pills for pain. His use of 30 pills a day was for massive europhoric rushes the same as any serious drug addict. The experts say Rush may never be able to truly kick this habit, but will have to fight his addiction every day for the rest of his life. His 30-day plan to recover is laughable.
