25% of Americans Expect Second Coming in 2007

There’s only one thing more depressing than watching the second half of the Rose Bowl–looking at the views of Americans. An Associated Press-AOL Poll shows that 25% of Americans expect the second coming to occur during 2007. That sure explains why they would vote for George Bush despite how much damage he has caused to this country. Harming our national security, ignoring global warming, running up the deficit, and undermining our system of government don’t really matter that much if we you don’t believe you are going to be on this earth much longer.

The rest of the country isn’t that optimistic either as 60% believe we will be the victim of a terrorist attack, or that a nuclear or biological weapon will be unleashed somewhere in the world in 2007. Despite these findings, another report on an AP-AOL poll shows that Americans are optimistic. I suspect it comes down to which questions are asked and which answers are stressed in the report.
