New Reuters/NBC/Zogby survey reveals:
Bush presidency judged as "not legitimate"
by minorities, Democrats
Democrats and minorities in substantial numbers do not consider
the soon-to-be presidency of Republican George W. Bush as
legitimate, a new Reuters/NBC/Zogby survey reveals.
The survey was conducted Wednesday December 13 of 521 likely
voters nationwide who voted in the 2000 presidential elections
showed that an overall 59% of those surveyed called the Bush
presidency legitimate with 37% who believe the presidency is not
legitimate. Another 5% were undecided.
The survey has a margin of sampling error of +/- 4.5%.
(Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding).
A strong majority of Democrats (65%) said the presidency was
"not legitimate" while 27% said "legitimate." Of the Independent
likely voters, 61% said "legitimate" and 34% said "not legitimate"
compared to 92% of Republican respondents who said "legitimate"
and 6% who said not legitimate.

Three-fourths (77%) of the African American respondents deemed
the presidency "not legitimate" compared to 17% who said
"legitimate." At the same time more than half of the Hispanic
respondents (53%) also termed the presidency "not legitimate"
compared to 39% who said "legitimate."
"If you define legitimacy as the will of the people, do you consider a
George W. Bush presidency legitimate or not legitimate?"
