DU this poll. (El Paso)-Should US War Dead list be broadcast
http://www.elpasotimes.com/

The poll is a bit hard to find, it's in a small grey box midpage ("Online Poll")

Do you think broadcasting the list of Iraq casualties and showing pictures of flag-draped coffins will cause more Americans to turn against the war in Iraq?

34.9%
Yes. But so be it. Americans need to be shown the real cost of war.
33.3%
Yes. It happened during the Vietnam War and it could happen now. Americans don't need to see the list of dead soldiers nor pictures of flag-draped coffins. They need to focus on fighting and winning the war in Iraq.
31.7%
No. Americans will still support the war in Iraq despite the showing of the list of casualties and pictures of flag-draped coffins.
