Massive Disconnect: 68% of “Political Class” Support Ground Zero Mosque; 77% of “Mainstream Voters” Oppose – Rasmussen

Wow. What a complete disconnect between the “political class” and “mainstream voters.” Two very different worldviews in play.

The new finding includes 58% who are following the story very closely, up from 22% in mid-July.
