Has anybody done a split poll where half of the respondents are asked these two questions?
- Do you oppose construction of the Ground Zero mosque?
- Do you oppose construction of a Muslim community center and mosque in lower Manhattan a couple of blocks away from the World Trade Center site?
(I use “oppose,” rather than “support or oppose” advisedly. I don’t really care whether people actively support the Park51 project, only whether they actively oppose it.)
Anyway, this is a genuine question. Has anyone done a poll like this? The very first time I heard about the “Ground Zero mosque” I thought it was literally a plan to build a mosque as part of the memorial at the rebuilt WTC site. I wonder how many people still think that?
