CBS) With President Bush's top military and diplomatic advisers on Iraq due to deliver a major progress report on the president's "surge" strategy, a new CBS News/New York Times poll finds that an increasing number of Americans believe the troop buildup in Iraq is having a positive impact.
U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus are expected to warn Congress on Monday that making any significant changes to the current war strategy will jeopardize the limited security and political progress made so far.
Later in the week, Mr. Bush plans a national address.
The poll finds 35 percent say the surge has made things better, up from 29 percent last month and 19 percent in July. Only 12 percent say it has made things worse, but nearly half see no change in either direction, according to the poll.

Now would be the time to force the RATS to poop of get off the pot.
What would be even better is if Haditha ends this week and Murtha gets brought up on charges of sedition.
Sometimes the blatantly obvious becomes blatantly obvious even to the dyed in the wool liberal antiwar fanatics.
the 12% saying it made it worse are the die-hard liberals who will never admit that the us are the good guys.
what would happen if the media slimes reported the truth? That number would shoot up to a point that the libRAts would be committing hari-kari
This just chronicles the reality that fewer and fewer people believe anything that the MSM has to say about anything.
Actually, 12% is very low - the norm for nut-case percentage is 20%. You could get 20% to boycott Mickey Mouse - and Tigger too.
NO! NO! NO! NO!
The Surge is Working!!!
You say that as if it's a bad thing./LOL
This poll is a measure of how well the propaganda efforts are going, not really about what Americans think. What this says is the media isn’t controlling the content very well.
I read a snippet of the KC Star newspaper (bought entirely for the coupons) detailing the utter despair and tragedy and waste that Iraq has become since the surge. The coverage is SO BAD maybe even us mere fly-over-country types can see through the blatant BS.
Nearly half see no change, despite constant reports to the contrary. Those are the hapless morons I worry to have as my compatriots.
Uh-huh, the surge is working now, even Katie Couric thinks so, and she knows everything.
Guess what Dems? MORE Americans think the surge is working! Good...more voters to vote these traitors out of office in 08.
If politicians cared at all about their constituents anymore they’d take these poll results into consideration and re-think their opinion on the surge, in the interest of doing what the people seem to favor. Now the only thing members of Congress care about is their pay raise and their quest for power.
Yet this same poll is currently headlined on the NY Times website as ...new poll shows most Americans think the surge has either not helped or hurt... You have to read the whole article to see what is really says.
Funny thing about polls is who they poll. Just who do they poll? I've never talked to anyone who has been polled. Obviously they only call those with landlines, only talk to those that are home and care to answer questions from a complete stranger about their thoughts. Only a small percentage of the population cares enough to be informed about the War in Iraq and of those probably half get their news from the msm.
Fortunately the President hasn't run the War against the islamonazis by poll, much to the chagrin of the drive by.
Nothing shocking here, and don't think it is a change of heart by the liberals.
It's just the standard tactic for dealing with BAD NEWS.
Get it out there early so when it is officially announced it has less impact and can be dismissed as "old news".
They are just trying to take any impact they can out of the Petraeus Report, that's all...
