More results from the poll will be released at 5 p.m. today. The Post and ABC did this driveby report on the poll this morning to set the agenda for the news today.

Link to poll results.

I for one don't like how the war in Iraq is being handled.

If it were up to me I would just push the button and then watch the mushroom cloud finally on CNN.

[Dominic Harr]

Well, I'm for the war. But I too disapprove of how the war is being fought. The 'political' aspect to it.

We are now fighting units armed, supplied and trained by Iran.

We're at war with Iran, yet we won't admit it.

[x_plus_one]

Yes but don't 8 in 10 Americans want cheaper gasoline and free beer?

[Red Badger]

We should have a scorched earth policy from day one......

[DTogo]

The handling of this war, by the White House and Congress, is an absolute disgrace.

Here's a good question. Has any Freeper been polled by the hucksters?

I'm with you. It'd be a different story if they included "not aggressive enough -- more flattening of mosques" as an option.

[avacado]

I want a poll that asks: "how much were you influenced to say what you said by our crappy and biased news stories?"

[r9etb]

This stuff is amazing. The media report only bad things, then they take a poll about what people have heard them say, then the repeat the poll results and start a new cycle.

And they call it "news."

[Always Right]

just three in 10 independents, and three in 10 moderates

What's the difference between an independent and a moderate?

[kristinn]

Bingo! Give that Freeper a kewpie doll.

[Lady GOP]

Agree Kristinn. The media is programing America to give up on this War by reporting ALL NEGATIVES.

They told women to abort their babies and that worked. These women never would have murdered their children. Now when Bush is against Roe v Wade they say he's insane. THEY ARE INSANE.

Exactly.

[Holicheese]

Did someone say "Free Beer"?
I too do not like the way the war is being fought. I want carpet bombing and tanks with frickin' flame throwers rolling through mosques.
A weapon not used is a weapon wasted!

[Nancee]

BUMP!!!

[Paige]

I totally agree with fighting the TERRORIST "BUT" I do "NOT" like the way this war is being handled. We are putting out troops in harms way to fight a PC war to appease the media and the far left.


ENOUGH!!!!

[Lady GOP]

Sean Hannity had a very good impromptu interview with troops on the ground in Iraq last night. He is one of the last respectable media figures left. Their observations were insightful. SUPPORT US IN WHAT WE ARE DOING. It will take years to establish a stable government here but they are confident it can be done.

[zarf]

Bush should form another commission to study the poll.

[Lee'sGhost]

"What's the difference between an independent and a moderate."

Well independent is an actual voter registration designation in some states. In NC we are "unafiliated." "Moderate" could mean anything as it is wholely defined by ABC-WaPo. I'm sure the definitions get molded to fit the agendas of both.
