Is public opinion one opinion shared by all Americans?
"Public opinion" does not necessarily mean that "all" persons in any country, culture, or race hold the same opinion.For example, during the last decade, there have been several primary public opinions about Americans entering a war in the Middle East (Iraq; Afghanistan). 1. One section of public opinion, especially right after 9/11, supported Bush's decision to go to war. 2. However, another section of public opinion disagreed and believed the US should not invade any country. 3. Another, less vocal, segment of society believed we should go to Iraq and capture Saddam, but once he was captured and killed, this segment of public opinion stated that the USA had met it's objectives and should withdraw all US troops. 4. A fourth opinion, after Sadam had been killed, held that the US could not simply withdraw after de-stablizing a country's government and social structure, and instead should stay to train Iraqis to take over their own governance. At the same time, after Saddam was hanged, public opinions shifted and took various opinions about whether the US's goal was to fight only Saddam, or whether the US's goal was to fight terrorism -- which included hunting Osama Bin Laden, leader of the Al Qaiada terroristic organization.Another way to view "public opinion" is to think about elections. Although we vote in only one person as US President, voters (the public) express different opinions about candidates by how each person casts a vote. Votes might be split UNequally between many candidates, but only one candidate wins. But that does not 'erase' how people cast votes for other candidates. The same applies to "public opinion"-- within "all" of society, citizens are often split about issues, so that there is typically more than just one "public opinion". However, one public opinion may be held by a majority-- but not necessarily.From these two examples, you can see that "public opinion" can take on many "sides" of an argument. The only way to properly write something that uses this phrase would be "the prevailing public opinion of US citizens believes..." or "...in current public opinion, the majority of US citizens feel.." Or, in cases where multiple opinions emerge, a writer could say something like, "Public opinion is split, with some people supporting X, while others agreeing with Y, and others believing Z."
