More from the PIPA report

Its hard to keep reading the PIPA report. How about this:

...only 31% of Bush supporters recognize that the majority of people in the world oppose the US having gone to war with Iraq. Forty-two percent assume that views are evenly divided, and 26% assume that the majority approves. Among Kerry supporters, 74% assume that the majority of the world is opposed.

Similarly, 57% of Bush supporters assume that the majority of people in the world would favor Bush's reelection; 33% assumed that views are evenly divided and only 9% assumed that Kerry would be preferred. A recent poll by GlobeScan and PIPA of 35 of the major countries around the world found that in 30, a majority or plurality favored Kerry, while in just 3 Bush was favored. On average, Kerry was preferred more than two to one.

Wow. Let me make this easier to read.

Of Bush supporters:


  • 57% assume that the majority of the world would support his reelection

  • 26% think the world approves of the US going to war with Iraq

What the hell is going on??
