The paper said that 35 percent of American voters thought the United States was making good progress in Iraq while 61 percent said the country was getting bogged down there.

But 52 percent of voters said that they thought the United States was winning the war in Iraq and less than one in four said the insurgents were winning.

These two figures show that the respondents don't understand the virtue of patience. By a small majority, people think we are winning, but by a larger majority, they think we are "bogged down." In other words, at least 9 percent and maybe more think we are both winning and getting bogged down. Admittedly, we could be winning faster if we'd stop worrying about hurting civilians and just kill the terrorists faster. Personally, I would favor that course of action. However, we're taking a more careful approach that is slower and leading to the what we hope will be the same victory.

Interesting I believe factual on polling.
This morning I called my father and asked him why is it that the polls always get more libs but I have never been polled in my life? My father hesitated and then responded, "well you haven't figured that one out yet?". My response was,"I guess not". My father asked me,"what do you do Mon-Fri. 6:30am-7:30pm?". I responded,"I get my child ready for school or daycare, my wife gets ready for work, she goes to work, I take my child and then I go to work, get my child, come home and eat some dinner". He said,"You do what most people do all day". He then said,"during these times are you hanging around malls or available near your phone for calls". I responded,"no". He said,"You just answered your own question but I'll let you figure out the rest". He did go on to say,"No matter what, most libs don't even show up at election because their lives consist of moving, never registering or changing addresses or when the time comes they just really could care less". The point of this is polls are irrelevant and even if partially correct don't make the outcome of an election.
