re: Another Poll 2003...49% support Manned Mars...
Chris Vancil — (archived)

A higher number, nearly three-fourths, said they think the space program is a good investment, according to the poll conducted for the AP by ICR/International Communications Research of Media, Pa. *** Enthusiasm for the program of space exploration was greater among younger adults, those with more education and those with higher incomes. Whites were more likely than blacks and men were more likely than women to think the shuttle should continue to fly. *** While support for the space program and the shuttle consistently at two-thirds or more, people are more divided on the question of sending a human to Mars. Support for that proposal was at 49 percent, while 42 percent opposed it. Men were almost twice as likely as women to think that sending someone to Mars was a good idea. *** The poll of 1,034 adults was taken July 11-15 and carries an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points. http://www.rednova.com/news/space/14509/poll_support_for_space_program_steady/
