Reason for the Poll
I read a study once (way in the back of my mind) that made the assertion that when faced with the 3 choices in the poll the number of people who favor or strongly favor the death penalty decreases as you move from question 1 (which has HUGE support) to question 3 (which drops below 50%.) This suggests to me that at least part of the reason people support the death penalty is a general frustration with the criminal justice system and the perception that people are getting out too easily. Any thoughts?
