Newsweek Poll Campaign 2004 Stem cell research: "With the death of actor Christopher Reeve, the topic of stem cell research has surfaced in the campaign. In the Newsweek Poll, 54 percent of registered voters say Kerry would handle stem cell research better than Bush, who got 32 percent of the vote on that issue. Fifty percent of registered voters (and 48% of swing voters) say they favor using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos. And of those who favor it, 75 percent say it's because they support scientific progress generally; 21 percent say it's because they have/know someone with disease. Thirty-six percent of registered voters oppose the research (and 39% of swing voters). Of those who oppose the research, 58 percent say it's because it conflicts with religious/moral values; 37 percent say it's not a good use of public money. Among registered voters, 44 percent say the issue of stem cell research is at least somewhat important (14% say very important) in determining their vote for president. Twenty-eight percent say it's not too important and 25 percent say it's not at all important in determining their vote, the poll shows." http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/041016/nysa012_1.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
