(CBS News) NEW YORK As President Bush and Congress hammer out an Iraq war funding bill, a CBS News/New York Times poll shows the number of Americans who say the war is going badly has reached a new high, rising 10 percent this month to 76 percent.
Nearly half of all Americans (47 percent) say the war is going very badly, while just 20 percent say the recent U.S. troop increase is making a positive difference.
Even a majority of Republicans, 52 percent, now say the war is going at least somewhat badly a 16-point increase from the middle of April. Nine in 10 Democrats and eight in 10 Independents agree.

Remember, first and foremost, this is a PROPOGANDA WAR. How much can I win, betting that CBS did not mention this CBS published FACT while polling???

Well there’s a surprise. With the media slamming the public with non-stop negative news stories and ignoring the positive reports, I’m shocked it isn’t closer to 90%.
Frankly, I have long distrusted CBS.
Ernie Pyle and Bill Mauldin must be spinning in their graves.
We are doing badly in the war on only one front--the propaganda front--where we are losing badly.
Report only bad things about the war and the sheeple will believe it is going badly. (MSM mantra)
Is there such a thing as a war going really well?
I thought ALL wars were hell.
SNort. I wonder how many of the people polled could even find Iraq on a map?
when is the stupid liberal media going to understand that President Bush will not give a damn about the polls. He is a Leader and will fight the terrorists till the end, and until we win.
What was CBS’s poll results about the success of our war in Somalia?
Did they even bother to run one?
Let me take this opportunity to say...
The people most likely to comply with a CBS/NYT poll are the most badly informed people who would not be asked their “expert” opinion otherwise.
76% rely on Brian Williams to TELL them WHAT to THINK.
>76% Say War’s Going Badly because they watch CBS, and don’t know any better. All this shows is CBS’ bias.<
Aw, come on, Angel. You stole my thunder. :o)
Gee, by August not ONE PERSON in America will think the war is going well.
“The results of a recent CBS News Poll indicate that NO Americans think the war in Iraq is going well.
“Meanwhile, 100% of Americans think going to war was a mistake.”
That’s the lead I’m waiting for.
Oh brother.
Frankly, I have long distrusted CBS and Dan RaTHer.
Oh wait. He isn't there any more. HA!! HA!! HA!!
You know if someone called me and said do you think the war is going bad i would say yes. But do i think its going bad because we are losing no.
Its going bad because the congress is embolding the enemy
Its going bad because we are not fighting to win
its going badly because the liberal lawyers are suing soilders
Is going badly becasue we are whining about underware on heads of prisoners while we ignore that prisoners from ourside seems to lose theirs, as in have it chopped off with a simitar.
And its going badly because of polls like this slashed across the media that telegraph an airre of defeat to our enemy
So do i think its going bad yes. But not becaus we are losing but because we aren’t fighting to win.
Don’t you just hate polls that are reported or conducted like this.
It is probably about 76% that think Baghdad encompasses the whole of Iraq.
CBS? Weren’t they a big station once, until their chief correspondent was found to be lying about documents?
Unfortunately, most of those who could not find Iraq on a map are likely those who support the war.
Are you suggesting the war’s going well? What’s the metric?
