I was speaking to both my mom and dad the other day and both seemed to be under the impression that the cost would be vastly greater than what is actually being proposed. When I brought the costs into true perspective to them they both thought exploring space would be a good idea. This poll is based on those kinds of misconceptions about cost (and return on investment). I'd like to see a poll with the question: "Would you support exploring the Moon and Mars if NASA could do it over a long period of time without significantly raising its budget?" That is after all what the plan is. I think the responses would be more favorable.
