Activity Web 3 For assignment three, I chose the survey titled "Public Support for War Resilient: Bush's Standing Improves." One of the most interesting thing I found from reading the findings of this survey was taken from the first sentence of the article; that at the time that this survey was taken (April, May, and June of 2004), Americans were paying less attention to Iraq than they had been in the previous two months, and how their overall opinions about the war became more positive. It was a significant drop in viewing also, in April and May, 54% of the people polled said that they were following the news from Iraq very closely, and 33% said they were following the news fairly closely. In June, the people polled reported that only 39% of them were following the news from Iraq very closely, and 42% were following the news fairly closely. This surprises me, because it really seemed like people are becoming more interested in the war in Iraq, so I guess I would have assumed the numbers would have been more flip-flopped. I think this has some significance to the campaign because one of the biggest reasons that everyone hates President Bush is because of the war, and if people are paying less attention to it, you would think it means that they don't care as much, which would benefit him on Election Day. Another interesting point I found while reading this survey is how much people really do pay attention to the candidate's personal characteristics. Of the people polled, 65% of them like Bush's personal character, while only 46% of the people like Kerry's personal characteristics. In contrast to that, 58% of the people polled Bush's dislike policies and positions most, and 60% of the people polled disliked Kerry's personal character most. I think this is important in the campaign because so many people nowadays are judging their votes not solely on the issues and the candidates views anymore, but more of what the candidate looks like, and what he is like as a person, not just how good of a leader they will be. The last point I found to be interesting while reading this article was how steady the people who were polled kept their opinions about the war in Iraq. In April, 57% of the people polled said that the war in Iraq was the right decision, and again in June 55% of the people polled still said the war in Iraq is a good idea. This is surprising to me because so many people seem to oppose the war now, and have openly said how much they don't support President Bush's decision to continue with the war. Also, in June, when the people were polled, 51% of the people said that we should keep the troops in Iraq, which has actually increased from the 50% of people polled back in April. For the same reasons as before, this is surprising to me. I'm unsure if people really think the war is a bad idea, and if we should pull our troops right now, or if they feel pressured into opposing it because some people do, and others feel like they need to have an opinion and don't want to stand out by saying they disagree. This has some significance to the campaign because again, one of the main reasons the public "dislikes" President Bush so much is because of the war, but according to these polls, most people aren't really opposed to what he has done.
