The MSM convinces the "Mindless Middle" that the war in Iraq is bad, although most of those polled couldn't find Iraq on a map. Then, they use the "polls" as topics for "news" articles.

Now, the Dem Senators think the "American People" support their position to end the war. It is an unspoken conspiracy that borders on treason. Grrrr...

[Always Right]

Wouldn’t the poll make more sense to do after the report is released?

[Rockiette]

The sickening display of DemocRATs on the hearings, Skelton and now the little, creepy Lantos have spoken with such traitorous and arrogant accusations that I am hoping that the American people throw everyone in the DemocRAT Party OUT of Congress and the United States. This ia a national disgrace!

[vigilence]

Define “significant progress”

[papasmurf]

Polls don’t fight wars.

[rusureitflies?]

This MSM crap really smells like it’s coming from beneath the Demorats outhouse...

Cut and run Paul’s spammers have been hard at work I see.

This is because of the constant hammering of the Lamestream Media with their negative BS. They have been pushing this from the day they heard their was a surge. They have hammered and hammered over and over again the negative view that the surge was and is not working. Folks this is called conditioning.
The American people are being conditioned daily by the mediocre Lamestream media in order to help the Socialist to push their agenda.
What is amazing, the Socialists (enlightened ones as they claim to be) are the very reason the Islamic Fascist hate our guts.

"2 Polls Suggest that the MSM's Two-week Blitz of Negative and False Reporting of General Petraeus's Unreleased Report Worked in Duping the Sheep."

Actually, the American people have every reason to be skeptical -- if not downright pessimistic -- about Iraq's future.

. . . some significant military gains, including a reduction in sectarian violence and a new partnership with Sunni Muslim groups to fight Al Qaeda in Iraq forces in Anbar Province.

I'd like to know how many U.S. soldiers have been killed and wounded in the last 4+ years by these "Sunni Muslim groups" that are supposed to be our partners now.

[Col. Bob]

Consider the source and the limited group of folks being polled. This resembles the inflated Lancet poll of civilian deaths in Iraq. Be skeptical. Be very skeptical.

When you lose support for a war it is damn near impossible to get it back. Bush should of done this two years ago. History will not be kind. Of course History is written by lib’s which makes it even harder. If they can't win it now they will have to get out or President Hillary will take us out.

A test...

Boston Globe...check.

Two polls...check.

Haven’t clicked the link yet, will be surprised to see that neither of the polls are from Pew.

Let’s see.

[freekitty]

Consider these controlled polls.

“Senator Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, told CNN’s “Late Edition” that he has an open mind about the report.”

Arelen Spector has such an open mind that his brains have fallen out.

I would no sooner trust a poll commissioned by the Washington (Com)Post or the New York Slimes than I would a promise by the North Koreans or the Iranians.

The pro-Iraqi War forces should run an advertisement with two photos - one of General Petraeus and one of that fat, unshaved, unkempt maggot Michael Moore with the caption
“Who would YOU trust?”

[SuziQ]

Polls mean nothing since there have been almost nothing be negative stories about surge in the press for the last two weeks. What else are readers of newpapers and magazines or consumers of the electronic press supposed to say, since that’s all they’ve heard?

[Condor51]

That ^&%$%ing Lantos needs what we called my the old Chi hood ‘an attitude adjustment’. He pretty much called Petraeus a liar. What a disgusting pig.

(Can we bring back Dueling? Just for a year or so, that would do it.)

[BlessedBeGod]

Now, this says the opposite:

Another Day, Another Poll, Another Disappointment for the Anti-War Left

[ricks_place]

CBS/New York Times "Independent/Unbiased" poll workers
find 45 percent of respondents believe the surge had no impact
while 12 percent believe it had made the situation worse.

Responses from expired respondents are considered invalid and are omitted from the statistics.
