Keep pushing those polls, undermining the military and our commander in chief, media fifth-columnists.
Meanwhile, you keep selling fewer and fewer smaller papers. Maybe that's the real poll result you should be thinking about.

The MSM is doing a great job at helping the terrorists defeat America at home.
Maybe if they actually reported rather than state opinion...

There have been mistakes, as in all wars, but the war itself was not a mistake, IMHO.

All the polls agree with this one.

As I've said elsewhere, the war is tipping. It can go over the edge of the jihadis launch a Tetlike offensive and show the world they are more than just a scattered bunch of killers.

I too would be more in favor of Bush's handling of the war if he took the gloves off a bit more.

50% Democrat

40% Republican
8% Independent

"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. "

Why isn't this the headline?

So in otherwords the MSM pumped propaganda of doubt but STILL they don't want to cut and run? So they STILL support the President's policy and not kennedy's?

Even with the nice rigging of party I.D. AP/IPSOS they pulled off here?

Only shows the media is doing it's job as the propaganda arm of the DNC.

We're not losing. The fact that we've got more support from NATO and even the Usless Nations shows we're winning. Does anyone think these leaders are now jumping on the bandwagon because we're LOSING?? No, now that they feel it's safe, they're betting on the winning side, hoping to take advantage of the new markets opening up in a free Iraq.

I don't care who does a poll, whether the RNC, Alphabet networks, pollsters, etc. They are worthless until I see:

A: The actual poll questions

and

B: The demographic breakdown of the poll.

Just tossing out general groups without actual numbers questioned, along with whether or not they voted is meaningless.

As has been said in the past, we took a very important poll last November. President Bush was reelected. All other polls since then are background noise used to create a story that fits the anti war template of MSM.

By the way, considering all the negative press about our troops and the war, MSM must be having a hissy fit, because only 53% of poll respondents disapprove of the war.

MSM are taking "talking points/polls" straight out of al-Qaeda training manual. MSM propaganda does not have to make the people pro-Qaeda, as long as it makes them anti-Bush.

99.9% of those polled think that polls are BS. On Oct 8th, 04 AP/IPSOS polls also had Kerry winning 50-46% and only changed their numbers 1 week before the election. If the public was really that much against Iraq then Bush would have lost the election and numbers don't realistically change in a months time by 6%. The way these polls are phrased makes the difference. If they ask,"are you satisfied with the way the war is going?", most people won't be in the affirmative because most people can't be 100% satisfied with even 1 loss of American life and others always think they have a better plan. Even in WW2 there was a majority dissatisfaction of going to war with what was believed to be a European problem.

Polls are meaningless. Just under 50% voted for Vietnam/Cambodian veteran, JFK, and, therefore, are against anything GWB says or does. Consequently, the polls are weighted heavily with Bush haters and do not reflect whether the matter polled is good or bad.

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

Junk and biased poll, as expected from an important pillar (AP) of the defeated liberal media.

There is no reason to doubt the veracity of this poll.

There is a lot of airy talk about sealing the borders. Well, we just plain don't have the manpower to do that. And frankly, neither did Saddam Hussein because smuggling always flourished along the infiltration routes the jihadis are now using.

We have 145,000 troops fighting against an insurgency with vast funding and that has a recruiting pool consisting of 10% (and that is on the low side) of the Sunni males in the Muslim world. We kill 10, 20 replace them. And there are hundreds of thousands more in the pipeline. When we went into Iraq, I was afraid this would happen. As things stand now we will be losing 3-5 Americans forever. As General Abizaid plainly acknowledged the insurgency is NOT growing weaker at all. This low level war of attrition could last forever.

The American people have no intention of being there forever.

We cannot win this war. The only way this war can be done is if we just get out of the way and let the Shiite militias do a Hulagu on the Sunnis.

I took a poll of myself and 100% of those polled expressed unwavering support for the war in Iraq.

Oh, by the way, 100% also said that polls were stupid.

So I guess that settles it.
