Fox News Poll: 64 Percent Think It's Wrong to Build Mosque Near Ground Zero FoxNews.com Published August 13, 2010 While a majority of American voters think the Muslim group that wants to put a mosque near ground zero has the right to build it there, most think it would be wrong to do so. A Fox News poll released Friday found that 61 percent of voters think the Muslim group has the right to build a mosque in lower Manhattan. However, 64 percent think it would be wrong to put a mosque there. Just over a third (34 percent) says the group doesn't have that right to build a mosque there. Among those who think it is wrong for the group to build an Islamic center near ground zero, views split sharply over whether they have a right to build it there: 47 percent say yes they do, while 48 percent say they do not. The Fox News Poll involved telephone interviews with 900 randomly chosen registered voters and was conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corp. from August 10 - August 11. For the total sample, it has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Seventy percent of voters who attend religious services regularly think it is wrong to put a mosque near ground zero, compared to 64 percent of those who rarely attend. Majorities of highly religious voters (60 percent) as well as those who rarely attend services (59 percent) think the Muslim group has the right to build the center. Men (33 percent) are more likely than women (28 percent) to think it is appropriate, and men (68 percent) are significantly more likely than women (55 percent) to think the group has the right to build the mosque.

Hat tip to LindyBill: RE: Contentions on Obama's speech >>Rep. Peter King is the first elected official to respond. He issued this statement: President Obama is wrong. It is insensitive and uncaring for the Muslim community to build a mosque in the shadow of Ground Zero. While the Muslim community has the right to build the mosque they are abusing that right by needlessly offending so many people who have suffered so much. The right and moral thing for President Obama to have done was to urge Muslim leaders to respect the families of those who died and move their mosque away from Ground Zero. Unfortunately the President caved into political correctness.<<< Obama has shown his true sentiments now, after weeks of concealing them, on an issue of deep significance not only to the families and loved ones of 3,000 slaughtered Americans but also to the vast majority of his fellow citizens. He has once again revealed himself to be divorced from the values and concerns of his countrymen. He is entirely – and to many Americans, horridly — a creature of the left, with little ability to make moral distinctions. His sympathies for the Muslim World take precedence over those, such as they are, for his fellow citizens. This is nothing short of an abomination.
