difference is within the 3% margin of error that is normally associated with polling data. The 61% result in 2013 could
indicate an actual number of 64% and the current 65% result could indicate an actual number of 62% so statistically the

pointed out, that could simply be attributed to the margin of error.
In the past ten years, there have been almost no new developments or revelations that would be likely to cause a change in
opinions one way or another. I think a general distrust of the government had been on the rise in the last ten years and that
might make people more conducive to believing in a JFK conspiracy. One question pollsters almost never ask is whether
people believe Oswald was actually innocent. I think recognize that most people believe he was at leas complicit even if
they don't believe he acted alone. I would bet the number believing him to be innocent would be in the low single digits.
One other question I wish they would ask is, "Do you give a rat's ass?". I'm betting a solid majority would say NO.

These assassination polls seem to reflect the prevailing views of "the government" at the time they were taken. During the 1970s and the revelations of the CIA abuses and Vietnam the conspiracy view increased. Those numbers declined in the 1980s and1990s when a more positive - or less negative - view of them changed.

As the graph shows, that is a slight rise from when the question of conspiracy was asked at the 50th anniversary but the
difference is within the 3% margin of error that is normally associated with polling data. The 61% result in 2013 could
indicate an actual number of 64% and the current 65% result could indicate an actual number of 62% so statistically the
difference is insignficant. I was mildly surprised the number had reason since it had been trending downward, but as I
pointed out, that could simply be attributed to the margin of error.
In the past ten years, there have been almost no new developments or revelations that would be likely to cause a change in
opinions one way or another. I think a general distrust of the government had been on the rise in the last ten years and that
might make people more conducive to believing in a JFK conspiracy. One question pollsters almost never ask is whether
people believe Oswald was actually innocent. I think recognize that most people believe he was at leas complicit even if
they don't believe he acted alone. I would bet the number believing him to be innocent would be in the low single digits.
One other question I wish they would ask is, "Do you give a rat's ass?". I'm betting a solid majority would say NO.
To put it differently: these polls ...

Simple rule...

I noted earlier this year that I thought that very thing would pop up in polling for the 60th anniversary.
