60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll: September Edition

  • Which would you rather be a master of?

And now for our monthly fantasy question. By more than a two to one margin, Americans would wake up and be a lover not a fighter. A fine arts lover that is, versus a martial arts expert. Expertise in martial arts is invigorating and useful but so too is a well-rounded knowledge of the fine arts. At some point a martial arts expert may be physically unable to continue, but a fine arts expertise would last you a lifetime.

This poll was conducted at the CBS News interviewing facility among a random sample of 1,027 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone July 26-29, 2012. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher.
