The fact that the DhimmiCraps have overplayed their hand (as they always do) to the point that they look like seditious defeatists has something to do with it as well, I would bet.
Sounds to me as if the NYSlimes has been push polling yet again and wants to get the numbers closer to what they really are as we get closer to November 2008.
No offense to my fellow Americans, but 80% supported the war when it started. Rather wishy washy to be zig zagging back and forth years later on whether it was the “right thing” to do.
