This poll struck me as quite a contrast to the television coverage of gleeful crowds.
(CNN) – Those who cheered outside the White House and Ground Zero on the night Osama bin Laden was killed may have been in the minority.
A survey released Wednesday showed 62% of Americans agree it is immoral to celebrate the death of another human being, “no matter how bad that person was.”
When asked separately if a passage from Proverbs 24:17 – “Do not rejoice when your enemies fall” – applies to how Americans should react to the death of Osama bin Laden, 60% of Americans agreed.
That’s about what I would have guessed.
