And 100% think its a good idea not to eat candy without brushing their teeth, and 2% think their boogers are really food.

One of the problems of todays world is that people actually think what they think matters.

[Howlin]

Is this the same CNN that offered to let the president of the United States watch FIVE MINUTES of the tapes that they PAID MONEY for -- ONLY if he would let them FILM him watching it?

Bah on them.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Well, I guess that does it. Sit back, relax and await a nuclear or biological disaster. Hope Bush,Cheney and Rumsfeld can find some productive things to do with their free time, now that the enlightened "poll people" have solved the world's problems.

The best bit about this poll is that folks are ready to accept the downside risks which they believe are there if we invade. I think those risks are probably exaggerated, so there is an upside here. Of course, I could be wrong. I am moving into my speculative zone. :)

[Grim]

And 100% of the adults in my household think this poll is bullfeathers.

* Economy: For the first time since 1995 a majority (52%) say the economy is in "poor" or "very poor" shape. A thin majority (52%) say Bush is doing a good job on the economy.

Now we know that the "wonderful Clinton economy" was really just more lies about imaginary companies with imaginary profits.

The attack on Iraq should have been launched within a week of 9-11-01.

If the poll is true,is it any wonder support has dropped off considering all of the naysayers and gloom and doom reports we are being bombarded with?

The longer we wait, the worse it will be as Sept.11th is forgotten more and more in a sea of kidnapped children and murder trial news 24/7.

[PoorMuttly]

Tell clinton. He listens to polls...so he doesn't have to be a man.

BTW, I don't capitalize his last name, in respect for the decent Clintons who he has thoroughly disgraced.

From CNN/TIME,
*Bush Approval Rating Down: George Bush's approval rating of 65% is the lowest it has been since before last Sept. 11 (the "high" was 89% Oct. 12; it was 55% July 17-18, 2001 before jumping to 78% Sept. 13).

Interesting. If you add "Good" & "Excellent"
from the FR poll, you come out with the
identical rating as the CNN/TIME poll.
Anyone care to venture an explanation?

[Sungirl]

Who cares what this clinton loving ~~ garbage spewing ~~station says.

[EGPWS]

"Support for war with Iraq is lowest among senior citizens, college graduates and low-income Americans."

Gee, the trough feeders speak out. What is most important to ME, today and NOW!

No offense intended to the over achievers or the elderly in general but I do sense a concern to the direction of TAX DOLLAR FLOW in certain groups of people with this poll.

[harpo11]

I'm sure that when President Bush says that " The time has come. It is time for Saddam to go bye, bye. Let's Roll!" most assuredly many will forget CNN/TIME's little old poll including CNN/TIME.

[IoCaster]

As per the inestimable JohnHuang2 in this post .

"In the aforementioned ABC News/Washington Post poll, the 69% level of support for military action drops a whopping 12% points, to 57%, merely by inserting the word "troops" in the question. The same poll shows 36% would oppose military action.

"Troops" evokes memories of Vietnam, and skews the survey results.

To illustrate, back in March, 67% supported "using military air strikes but no U.S. ground troops" against Iraq, according to Gallup.

But when asked if they favor using "U.S. ground troops to invade Iraq", public support plummets a full 21% percentage points, from 67% to 46%!! The same poll shows a huge 50% would oppose such action.

Again, this survey was taken back in March, when war "fever" was sizzling -- supposedly more "heated" than currently.

So, in the end, all the media brouhaha about plunging support for war on Saddam is based on flawed or fallacious interpretation of polling data -- wishful thinking, not fact."

I'm inclined to agree with his assessment.

[muir_redwoods]

Gosh!!The highly respected Clinton News Network has reported support dropping for an invasion of Iraq. Well, that about ends that idea. Thanks Ted and say hello to that patriot Jane if you see her.

[Mensch]

* Economy: For the first time since 1995 a majority (52%) say the economy is in "poor" or "very poor" shape. A thin majority (52%) say Bush is doing a good job on the economy.

The former 52% is a "majority" while the latter 52% is a "thin majority?

[finnman69]

Again the 'ground troops' poll. If it said remove Saddam Hussein the poll would be back up to 70%.

[Don Carlos]

CNNTIME POLL: SUPPORT DROPPING FOR SENDING U.S. TROOPS TO IRAQ

Excuse my "French", but I would be effing speechless if CNNTIME polls showed anything, anything whatsoever, in favor of this administration.
