Public opinion

Since I'm doing this for my public opinion class i decided starting with a public opinion fact would be appropriate.  Deathpenaltyinfo.org has a very extensive and informative fact sheet on the death penalty.  For instance, a may 2006 Gallup poll shows that overall support of the death penalty was 65% (down from 84% in 1994).  This poll did something else that was pretty interesting.  It showed that when given a choice, 48% of respondents would choose life without parole compared to the 47% who would choose the death penalty.  5% had no opinion.  So ladies, enjoy this tiny tidbit of information and try to get out of your mother's basement today.

Who am I?

Hello fellow followers of the blogging world who probably have no life.  Im about to sap what little life you do have with the blog i will be starting but first a little about myself.  Im a senior at ISU and majoring Politics and Government.  I am starting this blog as part of a class assignment for my public opinion class.  Most if not all my blogs, depending on what tangent i get off on, will be featuring the death penalty.  Other than that, shut up, strap in, and listen.
