| Now suppose you're sitting in a waiting room and talking |
| with some strangers when somebody brings up the issue of |
| whether sending troops to Iraq was a mistake. Again, from |
| the discussion, you can tell that most people in the group |
| do *not* support your point of view. How likely is it that you |
| would express your own opinion in a situation like this? |
| *Very* likely, somewhat likely, somewhat *un*likely, or |
| *very* unlikely ... or aren't you sure? |
| |
| |
| 1 Very likely |
| 2 Somewhat likely |
| 3 Somewhat *unlikely* |
| 4 Very *unlikely* |
