Poll: Bush's new Iraq strategy fails to rally public support

WASHINGTON — President Bush's address to the nation last week failed to move public opinion in support of his plan to increase U.S. troop levels in Iraq and left Americans more pessimistic about the likely outcome of the war.

--snip--

•Americans feel more pessimistic about the war in the wake of Bush's speech. For the first time, a narrow plurality — 49%-47% — say the United States is likely to lose the war. Before the speech, they said by 50% to 46% that the United States was likely to win.

:wow:

--snip--

Even so, by 51% to 36%, those surveyed have more confidence in congressional Democrats to handle Iraq than in the president.

--snip--

•Approval of Bush's handling of Iraq moved up a tick, from a low point of 26% before the speech to 28% now. His overall job-approval rating dipped 3 points, to 34%.

1. No matter how low his approval numbers drop...

I am always shocked that his approval rating is not in single digits. Where is this 28% of the population? Have they read a newspaper or viewed a newscast recently?

3. They're watching something called "Fox News".

Whatever that is. When Jerry Springer isn't on, anyway.

Welcome to DU!

It is shocking.

But the lead-paint-eatin' crowd is hangin' in there for their beloved chimp-boy.

:shrug:

[nevergiveup]

7. Many of them are here

in Denny Hastert's district. They watch Fox, read the Chicago Tribune and still blame Clinton for anything gone wrong.

2. I'll bet he's loads of fun to be with in the evenings.

Pickles is prolly hittin' the Tanqueray and the Camel Lights pretty hard.

Sociopath or no, at some level he realizes he's a worthless turd.

6. I hope he is miserable. I hope he has hellish, hellish nightmares

of Iraq, of New Orleans....

8. Recent photos . . .

. . . would suggest that he does have hellish nightmares.

His complexion has gone completely grey.

Sorry, Chimp-Boy, this prezidentin' didn't turn out to be just another frat-party, did it?
