There is no "simply". It is understandable.

Once again, I think polling on this subject is highly suspect. Not that it doesn't reflect what people are thinking, but what exactly are they thinking?
I'd wager most people have formed opinions based on the controversy rather than the real story. When you have pundits attacking the "9/11 MEGA MOSQUE" and that they "ALWAYS BUILD MOSQUES ON THE SITE OF GREAT VICTORIES" you're going to build a jaded public opinion.
From what I gather the Imam leading the effort is pretty mainstream and the intent is to build a community center, not a Mosque.
So take the polls for what they are, but remember, nine years ago a majority of Americans believed Saddam was behind 9/11.
