LOWER MANHATTAN — Manhattan voters support plans for mosque near Ground Zero, though residents of the outer boroughs are opposed, a new poll found.

The Quinnipiac University poll, released Thursday morning, found that 46 percent of Manhattanites support the 13-story mosque and community center, called Cordoba House. Thirty-six percent of Manhattan voters oppose the proposal and 18 percent are undecided.

Still, New Yorkers as a whole weighed in against the mosque, with 52 percent opposing the plans and just 31 percent supporting the project. The strongest opposition came from Staten Island, where 73 percent opposed the mosque compared to 14 percent who supported it.

This article does not support your numbers, Joy. Even in Manhattan, fewer than half support it. Granted, that doesn't mean that more than half oppose it, but that's still not a 69% approval rate. You can't add the approval percentage to the undecided one to find the group which doesn't oppose the mosque and call that a majority approval rating.
