The method to which they surveyed is provided in the article. :)

The poll involved telephone interviews with 1,004 adults from Oct. 23-25. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.


So 1,004 adults is a good indication of what some what 300 million+ American adults think? I can't believe you'd even post this as legitimate.

Sampling groups can be flawed, but by only the marginal percentage that is the one you posted, which is 3.1 plus or minus. On social issues, sampling groups tend to be more accurate on simple answer issues like this. On things like Vietnam where the issue is INCREDIBLY complicated and the answers will be too vague or complex to get a straight answer, sampling groups would be useless.


But you can check other studies if you want to. Most of them point in the same direction that this one concludes to.

I'm fairly certain that the question to vets asking if they would fight in Vietnam again even though they knew the outcome is a pretty simple question.

It dosn't matter. If they didn't ask everybody, then they can't PROVE anything.

Why were they so racist in their poll? Were women and minorities represented properly???

In this situation sampling groups can be a pretty good indicator on how the average person feels about a simple social issue compared to others.


Wait where do you get this racist thing from? it says that they polled minorities also.

C'mon. Really. You can't expect them to ask everybody. That is totally unrealistic. Surveys aren't conducted like that.

It was a joke in response to AEF saying this in another thread:

A lot of the numbers look a bit high to me.


These are the ones that I find most strange:

91% of Vietnam Veterans say they are glad they served.
74% say they would serve again, even knowing the outcome.



Unless he went to every vet and interviewed them, his data is false.
