» Poll Shows Americans Split on NASA Funding

A new poll asked Americans whether money had been well spent on the shuttle program. The results: 48 percent yes, and 48 percent no. The remaining 4 percent couldn’t launch an opinion.

Meanwhile, 57 percent rate the job NASA is doing as excellent (17 percent) or good (40 percent), and 30 percent rate it as fair with 7 percent calling it poor.

Some 17 percent said we should spend more on the space program, but a third figure we should reduce the funding or cut it entirely.

And you?

The poll results are here.
