Right

Fifty-four percent of Americans believe in love at first sight, a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll reports. Men are slightly more likely to believe in it than women (57 percent compared to 52 percent), as are married people compared to singles (56 percent compared to 51 percent). More than six in ten Americans, including similar percentages of men and women, say they look forward to Valentine’s Day. Only 7 percent nationally say they “dread” it.  Source: Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, February 2005.
