Zogby: Overwhelming majority says Terri should not have been starved
Isn't it interesting how prior to Terri Schiavo's death, the news media wanted you to believe that the American people overwhelmingly thought that the plug should be pulled. It becomes even more interesting when Zogby (known as a "liberal" leaning pollster) conducted a poll on April 1 (after Terri's death), and it wasn't even close.
"If a disabled person is not terminally ill, not in a coma, and not being kept alive on life support, and they have no written directive, should or should they not be denied food and water," the poll asked. A whopping 79 percent said the patient should not have food and water taken away while just 9 percent said yes.
