Our Latest Poll on What Americans Are Thinking

(This Wounded-Courier poll was originally posted on October 13, 2006. In light of today's AP-AOL News poll that found 81% of Americans believe in angels, here's a timely rejoinder from the vault.)

The majority of Americans still think Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11. A new Wounded-Courier poll uncovered other surprising beliefs held by U.S. citizens.

Here are the results:

  • If an insurgency lasts for more than four hours, you should call your doctor: 61%
  • Abraham Lincoln designed the Lincoln Town Car, the first modern automobile: 52%
  • God does not like France: 48%
  • ABC’s Schoolhouse Rock created the Bill of Rights in 1973: 34%
  • Grande Mocha is located between Papua New Guinea and Zimbabwe: 54%
  • Pat Buchanan was our 15th president: 76%
  • Iran’s Revolutionary Guard fought in the Revolutionary War during the Summer of Love: 37%
  • Peanut brittle is made by elves: 84%
  • Al Gore invented global warming and bears the mark of the devil between his shoulder blades: 29%
  • “Congress” comes from the words “con” and “regress”: 57%
  • As a child, Benjamin Franklin lied about chopping down a cherry tree to his mother, Margaret Thatcher, the first queen of England: 36%
  • President Bush’s proposed Missile Defense System is also known as “The Cone of Silence”: 41%
  • A caucus is like a circus of caulk, but more somber: 49%
  • The line “Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s kick ass light” appears in our national anthem: 39%
  • Massachusetts is in New Jersey: 28%

(This Wounded-Courier poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.)
