No to Fed $ to Religious Groups: $504,443,428.85 LOTTOPOL Poll

In the $504,443,428.85 LOTTOPOL Poll <A HREF="http://www.lottopol.com">www.lottopol.com</a> people are asked, among many other questions, whether Federal money should be used to help pay for the social services of religious groups. By more than 2 to 1 those responding were against money going to "faith based organizations". 47.72% of those polled said that no Federal money should be used to help pay for the social services of religious groups, only 19.97% favored Federal money going for that purpose. 32.31% had no opinion or would rather not answer the question.

Interesting, the results vary greatly when broken down by the cable news channel that the respondent indicated was their favorite: Viewers of the Fox News Channel split about evenly on the issue of whether Federal money should be used to help pay for the social services of religious groups. While viewers of CNN were more than three to one against Federal money going to faith based organizations Viewers of CNBC and MSNBC were both about 2.3 to 1 against. Those who said they rarely or never watched any cable news channel were most opposed to against Federal money going to faith based organizations, they were more that 4.5 to 1 against
