New York voters oppose by more than 2-to-1 a plan to build a mosque and Islamic center near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks in lower Manhattan, according to a Siena College Research Institute survey.
While 64 percent of voters said developers of the mosque have a constitutional right to build, only 27 percent supported putting the project two blocks from the World Trade Center site, with 63 percent opposed, according to the poll.
