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.
