and another 7% are unsure.

Many Americans unaware WMD have not been found (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3707.htm)

How can they be unaware?, it gets mentioned every 5 minutes on any news program or channel I watch. From the most anti-bush cbs/abc to the supposed right wing anchor foxnews.

I wondered that myself corplinx; I'd have thought it almost impossible to avoid reports on the current state of the WMD hunt if you live in the US.

Perhaps this paragraph from the report is more accurate than any of us would like to believe :

The desire to reduce cognitive dissonance may also be skewing some Americans' memory of the government's rationale for going to war. Asked, "Thinking back to when the US government was making the case for going to war with Iraq, according to the government, what was the most important reason for going to war with Iraq?" 60% said "the evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction," and 19% said "the evidence that Iraq was working with the terrorist group al'Qaeda." But 20% said the most important reason was "the fact that Saddam Hussein was an oppressive dictator." Asked for the second most important reason, another 32% chose "the fact that Saddam Hussein was an oppressive dictator," while weapons of mass destruction were chosen by 24% and links to al'Qaeda by 42%.

That kind of comment is likely to end up in someone's sig. :)
