that poll
Typical of poll questions (or so it seems to me), the question about
being excited by the shuttle launch doesn't seem to gather any
information.  A better question is "How do you feel about the shuttle
launch and why do you feel it".  Of course, that isn't a simple,
easily tallied question so pollsters shy away from it.  I'm not sure
why, but the question asked feels biased to me; almost as if it was
rigged to get the "I don't care response".

I also have to wonder about the % on the question about too little/too much/
just enough.  As far as I can tell from the figures quoted, 1/4 of the
people who were excited about the launch think we're spending too much!!!!!
(.60*46% = 27.6%.    42-27.6 = 14.4  which is approx  51%/4).  If they think 
that, then I wonder why they're excited about the launch.
(Alas, where is D.D.Harriman when we need him!).
