Online Poll Indicates Few People Worldwide Believe Usama bin Laden Will Ever be Caught

(PRWEB) November 14, 2003

CHICAGO – Results of a worldwide online poll, conducted exclusively by Chicago-based The Opinion Exchange, show that few websurfers believe that Al-Qaeda terrorist leader, Usama bin Laden, will ever be caught - dead or alive - by the United States or the coalition forces.

The capture of Usama Bin Laden is one of the more popular polls viewed, voted on and discussed freely by the registered members of The Opinion Exchange at http://www.opinion-exchange.com. Since the poll was submitted for discussion on October 1, only 35 percent of registered members have agreed that the international terrorist will be caught dead or alive, while in contrast, over 60 percent of members are confident Iraqi former president Saddam Hussein will be caught.

“The voting patterns of our members have really emphasized the incredibly polarized, heavily partisan state of society these days,” said Richard C. Buchanan, founder of The Opinion Exchange. “Our members’ feelings for or against President Bush closely mirrors political party lines, however there is definite anguish across political boundaries at the perceived failure of the war on terror, and the constant loss of life in Iraq.”

Since the October 1 launch of The Opinion Exchange, the most popular and relevant opinions contributed and discussed by the members of the site have closely tracked the headline news topics. These opinions include the discussion of a second term for President George W Bush, the possible entry into the 2004 Democratic primary by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and the guilt of Scott Peterson in the accused murder of his wife, Laci and unborn son, Connor.
