Other exclusive survey findings: Majority says foreigners' perceptions of U.S. determines attitudes about Americans; most think being sexy is all about attitude
Nearly half of American moms (48%) say they ended up being the type of mother they thought they'd be, a MSN-Zogby Poll finds. But one in four (25%) says they aren't. Younger moms, age 18-29, are more likely (31%) than older moms to feel surprised by the mom they've turned into.
The interactive survey of 10,642 adults nationwide - 3,556 of whom are mothers - was conducted March 5-8, 2007, and carries a margin of error of +/- 1.0 percentage points.
This wide-ranging exclusive poll also explores perception - public and personal. It finds the vast majority of Americans believe foreigners' perceptions of Americans are based on how the U.S. is viewed, not on their experiences with individual Americans. The poll probes Americans' views on body image and what's sexy, too.
The results from this survey, as well as previous MSN-Zogby Polls, are posted across relevant MSN sites at http://www.msn.com. Every month, MSN and Zogby team up to conduct surveys aimed at discovering what Americans really think, on topics ranging from current events to entertainment and everything in between.
More about mothers and Mother's Day
Most Americans (65%) say they would describe their mom as "traditional." But for 17% of respondents, "modern" is a more apt description of their mom, while just 4% peg their mom as "alternative."
Most moms can expect a card or a gift this Mother's Day, which is how 65% of those who plan to celebrate Sunday will recognize their mother's special day. But another 22% say they'll take their mom to brunch or some other local activity, while 13% say they aren't sure what they'll do with their mom come Sunday, May 13. Women (7%) are more likely than men (2%) to say Mother's Day causes them the most stress of any holiday or celebration. To see the complete Mother's Day poll results, visit continue...
