| New Poll Shows 80% of Americans Want US to Join Mine Ban Treaty According to a major poll on Americans’ views on foreign policy released in late September, 2004 by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, 80% of the American public believes that the US government should support the international treaty banning landmines. For the full poll results, visit www.ccfr.org (landmine question on page 38). Another new poll released by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland demonstrates assumptions potential voters make about the positions held by President Bush and Senator Kerry. Landmines is one of the topics covered. For more information, visit www.pipa.org Finally, a joint study was released on October 1, 2004 by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and the Program on International Policy Attitudes called "The Hall of Mirrors: How Leaders and Public Perceive Each Other." It also includes content on the landmines issue. The study finds "that the American public and American leaders—including senior Congressional staffers, administration officials, and leaders in business, labor, media and other areas— agree on many key foreign policy issues, but that Congress frequently votes contrary to this consensus."
