With polls showing support for an attack on Syria at less than 10% approval I find it hard to believe that there is even a close chance of a supporting vote in the House.

Unfortunately, this congress doesn’t care what the people think. They believe they always know what’s best for us.

“With polls showing support for an attack on Syria at less than 10% approval”

The polls are changing:

“the public is more supportive of military action when it’s limited to launching cruise missiles from U.S. naval ships — 50 percent favor that kind of intervention, while 44 percent oppose it.”

I thought the NBC poll showed around 40%. It depends on any evidence Obama puts out as well but there is definitely going to be more support for strikes if the Congress authorizes it. I still doubt anything will happen unless there is another chemical attack.
