(Florida ) Public backs right to die, poll says - Schiavo Case
<http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/state/7433131.htm>


this is from Sunday's paper but I have not seen it discussed here yet, Mods if this is dupe please delete, thanks!


By nearly three to one, registered voters across religious, party and gender lines told pollsters they disagree with the intervention. While Bush and GOP legislators acted at the request of Terri Schiavo's parents to keep their daughter alive by overruling the wishes of her husband and a court, an overwhelming number of the poll's respondents believe that a spouse should determine whether an incapacitated person without a living will should be taken off life support.

''The governor is clearly in the wrong in terms of public opinion,'' said Democratic pollster Rob Schroth, who conducted the poll for The Herald and the St. Petersburg Times with a Republican pollster, Kellyanne Conway.

The responses were strong.









Looks like Jeb is on the wrong side of this argument. But of course he could care less about Schiavo or her family.

1. This is so typical of Florida Republicans.
They listen to the noisy right wingers and think it's representative of the population.
