Future galaxy collision predicted
PINELLAS PARK, Fla., April 14 (UPI) -- Florida voters responding to a poll said they disapproved of all outsiders who got involved in the Terri Schiavo case except the U.S. Supreme Court.
The court, which decided not to deal with the right-to-die case in Pinellas Park, got a 50-44 percent approval, The Miami Herald reported Thursday.
The poll was conducted by Quinnipiac University of Connecticut and has a margin of error of 3 percent. It was conducted last week.
The biggest loser was the news media. Floridians said they disapproved of the way the media handled the case by a 71-23 margin.
"I think this is a case of shooting the messenger," said Clay Richards, a pollster for the university. "And there was fatigue. This was on television and in the newspapers constantly and people just wanted this to go away."
President Bush and his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, both received disapproval by a 59-35 percent margin. Voters disapproved of Congress by 64-27 percent and the state Legislature by 62-26 percent.
