According to Brendan Nyhan
Tom Jensen of Public Policy Polling continues his interesting polling on political misperceptions in a new national poll (PDF) that was conducted Sept. 18-21 and released today.
As in the New Jersey poll released last week, PPP’s national poll includes contrasting “truther” and “birther” questions. However, Jensen consulted with me on the wording of the “truther” question, which I had criticized, and ended up selecting new wording I adapted from a Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll. The new question removes the ambiguity associated with the phrase “advance knowledge,” which could be interpreted to refer to the August 2001 memo Bush received warning of the threat from Al Qaeda:
Old question: “Do you think George W. Bush had advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks?”
New question: “Do you think President Bush intentionally allowed the 9/11 attacks to take place because he wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East?”
