August 19-21, 2002: Poll: Most Americans Believe Iraq Supports Terror, Hussein ‘Personally Involved’ in 9/11Attacks

2002-08-19

86 percent of those polled in a CNN/USA Today Gallup poll say they believe that Saddam Hussein supports groups “that have plans to attack the United States” and 53 percent think Saddam Hussein was “personally involved in the September 11 attacks.” The results are based on telephone interviews with 801 adults and the margin of error is estimated at 4 percent.
