Old Online Poll by MSNBC

Okay folks here is the "poll" Grondine claims has 70% of all citizens of the USA wanting a Moonbase for Impactor detection...

First it is a single MSNBC poll taken sometime in 1998 (just after Deep Impact was released).

Grondine doesn't provide us with the questions asked,,,

8480 people participated online...

27% wanted something done now.
29% added it to a list of worries.
27% thought the threat overblown
17% had no opinion

This leaves us with something like 56% if we add the worried with the right nows...

We seem to missing about 14% and this is a single online poll taken years ago.
