ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether or not they wanted to re-elect President Bush, most people heaved a sigh of relief that in general the presidential election was conducted fairly, and that there was no doubt about the result. While some bloggers and others have raised the possibility of fraud, the overwhelming majority of the public, including more than two-thirds of Democrats, believe that the election was conducted fairly.

A few people believe that there were many attempts to intimidate or prevent legitimate voters from voting and a substantial minority believes that there were some such attempts. However, two-thirds of the voters say that there were none or only a few such attempts. And, given their answers to the first question, it is clear that few people believe that these attempts were successful.

These are the results of a nationwide telephone survey conducted by Harris Interactive® between November 9 and 14, 2004 based on a sample of 1,014 U.S. adults.
