ONE YEAR LATER, MEDIA STILL COUNTING FLORIDA VOTES

MAJORITY (79%) BELIEVE WE WILL NEVER GET A COMPLETELY ACCURATE COUNT OF ALL THE VOTES IN FLORIDA

New York [Sun Nov 11 2001 15:55:26 ET] -- With the imminent release of the latest recount of Florida votes, a 79% majority of Americans surveyed for a TIME/CNN Poll say they do not think we will ever get a completely accurate count of all the votes in Florida. (Only 15% said yes we would; 6% were not sure.)

A recount conducted by the National Opinion Research Center & Consortium of Media Companies is expected to break this week, according to CBS MarketWatch.com. The consortium includes AP, The New York Times, Dow Jones, The Washington Post, Tribune Company, AOL Time Warner and others.

The NOPRC started work in February to tally uncounted votes in the disputed election one year ago (in November 2000) that eventually led to George W. Bush's victory in Florida and ultimately to his presidency, notes CBS MarketWatch.

The TIME/CNN survey was conducted by Harris Interactive by telephone among 1,037 adults Nov. 7-8. The margin of error for the total sample is 3%.
