(CNN) -- Almost three-quarters of Americans surveyed in a poll released Thursday have prayed for victims of the southern Asia tsunamis, but when it comes to cash donations, only 45 percent have pulled out their wallets.
The CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll of 1,005 adults found that another 6 percent of those surveyed had thought about saying a prayer but hadn't done it, and 19 percent had not thought much about doing it.
And while 45 percent of respondents said they had contributed money to relief efforts, 26 percent had thought about doing so but had not, and 29 percent had not thought much about it."
