Reuters.com: Voters Seen Little Swayed by 'Fahrenheit 9/11'

Politics News Article | Reuters.com: "LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - If Michael Moore had hoped that his biting documentary critique of the Bush administration might turn the tide of the upcoming U.S. presidential race, he may have to settle instead for the film's box-office success.
A Los Angeles Times poll of likely voters published on Friday showed that 'Fahrenheit' is drawing an overwhelmingly Democratic audience and that few Republicans who have seen the movie appear to have been swayed.
The findings support the contention of conservative critics that in terms of its political influence, 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is unlikely to go beyond preaching to the Democratic faithful. Just 9 percent of 1,529 registered voters surveyed nationwide July 17-21 had seen the film, which lambastes President Bush for his response to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on America and his reasons for going to war in Iraq, the Times said.
