The latest results of Rasmussen Reports’ monthly survey on the War on Terror show signs that Americans may be becoming more cautiously optimistic about their country’s performance. The percentage of those who believe that terrorists are winning the war continues to take a downward turn; 26% of this month’s respondents indicated terrorists have the advantage, down from 30% and 35% in the two previous polls, respectively.
The number saying the U.S. and its allies are winning moved up to 44% from 40% a month ago. Only once in the past year has a larger percentage been that optimistic. However, during Election 2004, the number who believed the U.S. and its allies were winning consistently remained above 50%.
President Bush also regained some lost ground with 36% of respondents rating his handling of the situation in Iraq as good or excellent—a five point rebound from last month’s survey. Most of that jump resulted from increased confidence among GOP supporters; 67% of Republicans give the president good or excellent marks, up from 57% last month.

Of the others that say we aren't winning, the only reason they say that is because it's not being done the way they want it done even though their way had been tried for the past 30+ years without success.
Our secret weapon has been the quivering and quavering republicans who temporarily abandoned the President when the going got tough. They are crawling back in time for the elections.
Those fair weather soldiers have taken a look into the playbook of the team that features Murtha, Sheehan, Kerry and Dean and found new hope without having to sweat.
I wonder if this poll was taken before the latest Middle East conflagration.
