<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"19. Do you personally want the Iraq plan President
Bush announced last week<BR>to succeed?"<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What exactly makes this a loaded question? It seems
quite straight forward to me. It's not as though the question was framed in such
a way as to beg any given response. "Do you want the plan to succeed or do you
want to see children and puppies die?" now that's a loaded question. What I find
odd is that any American of any political persuasion would answer the original
poll question in the negative.</FONT></DIV>

University is using Fox News as a "reliable"<BR>> news source?<BR>>
<BR>> That poll is jam-packed with loaded questions. <BR>> <BR>>
Question #19, the question referenced by Washington State University<BR>>
Professor Michael Costello, who relies upon it as stating that:<BR>> <BR>>
"A recent opinion poll revealed that only 51 percent of registered
Democrats<BR>> actually wanted the United States to win this war. More than a
third (34<BR>> percent) actually wanted failure and another 15 percent were
uncertain."<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Question #19 from the cited
source:<BR>> <BR>> "19. Do you personally want the Iraq plan President
Bush announced last week<BR>> to succeed?<BR>> <BR>> Yes No (Don't
know)<BR>> Democrats 51% 34 15<BR>> Republicans 79% 11 10<BR>>
Independents 63% 19 17"<BR>> <BR>> Judging by your application to this
loaded question, Mr. Costello, it is<BR>> also clear that 11% of the
Republicans and 19% of the Independents want<BR>> failure.<BR>> <BR>>
But then what would you expect from a group of people that have been
exposed<BR>> as nothing more than a contingent of campaigners for the
Bush<BR>> administration.<BR>> <BR>> What are your thoughts,
