Women, young people, more opposed to nuclear weapons

Public divided on eliminating all nuclear weapons . Washington (CNN) 12 April2010, – Americans are split on President Obama’s goal of eliminating all of the world’s nuclear weapons, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Monday. But the survey also indicates the public overwhelmingly agrees with the mission of the president’s nuclear summit this week to keep those weapons out of the hands of terrorists…..
“Fifty-eight percent of women favor the elimination of all nuclear weapons, but most men don’t share that view,” says Holland. “People under 50 also call for the elimination of all nuclear weapons, but people over 50 – who are more likely to remember the Cold War – think that the U.S. and a few other countries should retain their nuclear arms.” CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive – CNN Poll: Public divided on eliminating all nuclear weapons « – Blogs from CNN.com
