"In the most recent poll, 36 percent said they were in favor of the war -- half of the peak of 72 percent who said they were in favor of the war as it began."

Then.. "Sixty-one percent, however, said they believed at least some U.S. troops should be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of the year."

But the headline reads "60 percent of Americans oppose Iraq war"

Those are responses to two different questions. Media mischief.

Bingo! If 60 percent oppose the war, then why would only 26 percent want to bring all the troops home now. These polls are so tiresome.

I oppose the war.

I would have opposed WWII - but that would not have stopped Hitler. Only the strength of our brave troops stopped him. Wanting peace is a good thing, but kicking the butts of the bad guys is the only way to get it sometimes. Evil must be fought and defeated, not wished away.

naturally they called democrats who just happen to be home during the day when sane, rational people are out working..

Yup.
Plus they were careful not to question registered voters, let alone likely voters.
They could very well be questioning plenty of illegal aliens.
And where is the breakdown by party affiliation at? We are probably looking at the normal 55% RATS selection ratio here.

I didn't get a call.

Has any FReeper gotten a call on this poll?

Just curious.

The Article also says:
Only half the sample, or about 524 people, was asked the timetable question.

Makes one wonder which half was asked the question?
