[Peace-discuss] The Power of Ten

I just finished watching a quiz show called "The Power of Ten", which 
follows "60 Minutes" on CBS.  Hosted by Drew Carey, the show requires the 
contestant to predict how a random sample of Americans answered a certain 
question.  The contestant's answer is given in terms of a range of 
percentages, and the correct answer must fall within that percentage range 
in order for the contestant to win.

A female contestant just lost at the $100,000 level.  The question was, 
"What percentage of Americans think that we should keep our troops in Iraq 
and finish what we started?"  What would you predict the correct answer 
was?  I'll supply the answer after a few people have hazarded a guess.
