Just over half of Americans, 53 percent, now say the war in Iraq was a mistake - the highest percentage to say that in AP-Ipsos polling since December 2003, when two-thirds said the war in Iraq was the right thing to do.
The poll taken earlier this week also found that almost six in 10 disapprove of the Bush administration's conduct of the war, but about the same number say they would prefer keeping troops until the situation is stable instead of immediately withdrawing them from Iraq. Some other findings:
-Who most favors the war: Suburban men, Republicans.
-Who is most opposed: Those 65 and older, people living in urban areas, unmarried women, those who make less than $25,000 a year, Catholics and Democrats.
-War's conduct: Almost six in 10, 56 percent, said they don't approve of the way the Bush administration has conducted the war in Iraq, with 41 percent approving. Four of five Republicans, 79 percent, approved, while more than four of five Democrats, 84 percent disapprove.
-No hasty retreat: Given the choice of keeping troops in until the situation has stabilized or bringing troops home immediately, six in 10 said they want troops to stay and help stabilize Iraq. The percentage of people who want troops to come home immediately has increased to 37 percent, up from 28 percent in November.
The findings on the Iraq war come from a poll of 1,000 adults conducted June 20-22 for The Associated Press by Ipsos, an international polling firm. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points, larger for subgroups.
Oh, and I worked VERY hard for my degrees, and paid my own way all the way. I'm more proud of that than anything else.
And submitting a dissertation has to be one of the most humiliating experiences in one's life.
As far as I am concerned, even if you didn't ask for it, you are forgiven!!!!!
Yikes
Gee I thought Mr. 5 degrees was so much better since he is so much smarter than us.
I guess not.
I thought you said you like this sort of thing? Annoying "bots" that is.
The problem that I have believing the 5 degrees, especially the Phd is that you have a very immature way about you.
Mr. Dane, even with my five degrees, I can be incredibly stupid. Just ask anyone who knows me well.
And I thought he was too busy doing "research" to look up any documentation for the tripe he's been posting about W and religious people. Yet, he is still here.
It gets tiring, especially for the fingers. And with some people, it can border on bullying.
Some bots I'll harass until doomsday, though, because they're so vicious. They ARE bullies. Like this Dane character. I've run across him before, many times.
I'm still getting a chuckle out of the "importance" wc9 is giving the reporters typed up "downing street memos".
That screams DU lefty moonbat.
I'm only seem immature after you get to know me.
Seriously, this is the internet, not church. It's to play in.
That screams DU lefty moonbat.
Could also be a LewCrockWell type moonbat.
Well gee Mr. 5 degrees, you with your infinite knowledge should be able to knock me out with one keystroke(rolling eyes)
Dane is very rational. I don't always agree with him and he doesn't always agree with me I'm sure, but I appreciate his comments and find him to be thoughtful and measured.
The "character" here is YOU.
I'm not researching now. I'm teasing bots on several different threads while waiting for the Mrs. to get home. We're taking our dog out for walkies tonight. I made the mistake of telling him, so I'll have to do it, no matter how late she shows up.
That screams DU lefty moonbat.
Yes, indeed it does.
I had forgiven you, but I remembered that you called my president Saint George or "W", and that is not playing.
LOL! They get kinda cute when they think they're being clever don't they?
Mr. Dane, I first read about the Memos on WorldNetDaily, and immediately realized they were crap because of that.
You take things too seriously.
Look up:
1. Cognitive dissonance
2. Credulous
then look in the mirror
