Ted, from the link CJ provided:

> But in an interview last month with the conservative weekly newspaper Human Events, McDermott said he makes a point to omit "under God" when reciting the pledge.

"I personally don't think it adds anything to the Pledge of Allegiance, and I personally don't say, 'under God,' McDermott is quoted as saying. "I consider it an infringement that I don't like. I don't like infringements of church and state. And so I don't know that I'm rigid, but I try to be consistent."


And here is a link to the poll:

I was slightly off, though. 87% want to keep "under God."

Though to be sure, Bush's approval numbers were at 70% at that time, so I'm sure you can take that poll with a grain of salt ... ;-)
