Ok, so I'm reading this editorial piece in the NYTimes today and read the following:

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll published yesterday found that a majority of Americans now believe the war has increased the threat of terrorism. A New York Times/CBS News poll earlier this week found that 47 percent of respondents believe the terror threat has increased, while only 13 percent say it has declined. Thirty-eight percent of the respondents in that poll said the war had not made a difference.

Now, I've never claimed to be a math wiz or anything, but when the piece says "a majority of Americans now believe the war has increased the threat of terrorism" and the actual percentage of Americans that either believe the threat has declined or not changed since the war in Iraq adds up to 51 percent, isn't that less than the 47 percent of respondents who believe the terror threat has increased? So wouldn't their premise be wrong here? Help me out somebody...
