Research2k is a respected pollster and this has been backed up by one other outlet. Other pollsters are going to take note of this so there’ll certainly be more of these polls to come. Not that I can recall seeing a poll on the issue but I don’t *think* we ever reached a point where 58% of Dems were unsure or outright believed Bush did 9/11. Maybe 58% of Democratic Underground readers..
