THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!

[Psycho4Bud]

According to a recent USA Today/Gallup poll, 61% of Americans oppose â??denying the funding needed to send any additional U.S. troops to Iraq,â?� and opposition is up from 58% in February. (3/23-25, 2007).

A Bloomberg poll reveals 61% of Americans believe withholding funding for the war is a bad idea, while only 28% believe it is a good idea (3/3-11, 2007).

A recent Public Opinion Strategies (POS) poll found that 56% of registered voters favor fully funding the war in Iraq, with more voters strongly favoring funding (40%) than totally opposing it (38%); (3/25-27, 2007).

POS found also that a majority of voters (54%) oppose the Democrats imposing a reduction in troops below the level military commanders requested (3/25-27, 2007).

A separate POS poll finds 57% of voters support staying in Iraq until the job is finished and â??the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security for its people.â?� And 59% of voters say pulling out of Iraq immediately would do more to harm Americaâ??s reputation in the world than staying until order is restored (35%); (2/5-7, 2007).

A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll show 69% of American voters trust military commanders more than members of Congress (18%) to decide when United States troops should leave Iraq. This includes 52% of Democrats, 69% of Independents and 88% of Republicans (3/27-28, 2007).

According to a recent Pew Research survey, only 17% of Americans want an immediate withdrawal of troops (4/18-22, 2007). That same poll found a plurality of adults (45%) believe a terrorist attack against the United States is more likely if we withdraw our troops from Iraq while the â??country remains unstableâ?�
Should a date for withdrawal be set, 70% of American believe it is likely that â??insurgents will increase their attacks in Iraqâ?� starting on that day. This is supported by 85% of Republicans, 71% of Independents and 60% of Democrats. (FOX News/Opinion Dynamics, 4/17-18, 2007).

An LA Times/Bloomberg polls reveals that 50% of Americans say setting a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq â??hurtsâ?� the troops, while only 27% believe it â??helpsâ?� the troops (4/5-9, 2007).

Please Sonny, not another Faux noise poll, doesn't 99% from fox polls say Dubya is doing a wonderful job, puleeese. No-one wants to deprive the troops of anything that would put their lives in more danger than Dubya has already done. There is a ton of money available to maintain troop integrity, this bullshit by the repubes that the troops will be in danger is just more neo-con Rhetoric designed to pressure the vote, pure bullshit. If the troops are in danger, pull them out of harms way, seems like a rational approach to me P4B says {"Looks like the people want us to hold the course and for the Dems to chill on the anti-U.S. rhetoric. LOL.......I definately see a Republican Prez and a House shift in the near future!"} Don't hold your breath, the people are fed up with the scheming, lying Repubes, Even a Whig would stand more of a chance than any Repube.

Polls are like assholes Most every side has at least one. Some people are such assholes, you wonder if they may have more than one, Like fox noise, they have about a dozen or more. I wonder how they can legally call that station a news station, must be a huge loophole. their "news" is like Ha Ha, I told you so, even when they're wrong, which, BTW is about 99% of the time.

Once again I'll use that famous quote, "There you go again".

If these polls were stating your point they'd be solid gold but unfortunately for you and others..........THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!

The majority of our fine citizens realize what's at stake despite the gloom and doom reports of the Defeat-0-cons. Let em' preach from the steps of Congress but the people know that there is "More Than Beats the Eye". LOL

Actually that is consider bad form, when constructing polls it is almost always done to specifically eliminate bias questions, they skew poll results and thus make them unreliable. The type of poll taken from USA Today would definately work to eliminate bias, they are a reputable source and to use biased questions would hurt their credibility (believe it or not).

Here's the difference between a bias question and an unbiased one:

(Unbiased) Do you approve of the President's handling of the war on terror? Yes/ No/Uncertain

(Biased) Do you approve of the President's poor handling of the war on terror? Yes/No/Uncertain

Now look at the question's above on the poll, draw you're own logical conclusions.

Edit: I see that the original questions are not listed, so you cannot come to any logical conclusions from the given. USA Today / Bloomberg and *gasp* even Fox News are reputable news sources regardless of your views on them. If you do doubt the polls, why don't you review the sources, they are given above. If it's so hard to believe that the American public actually feel the way that's stated above then perhaps you are disillusioned.
