Remarkable NYT Iraq Poll (Support for War Craters)

[troublemaker]

Amazing! From Iraq to approval rating it's a Bush disaster, almost as if the recent Bush bump never happened. The only rating that went up was handling of terrorism, but if you look closely it appears that that increase was due to many people deciding that Iraq is a fiasco, but has nothing to do with the war on terror!

1. * seems to have gotten a lot of bang

for his $ 80 million advertising buck. With results like these, let's hope he keeps spending.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

4. $50 Million and the Whoring of CNN/Faux/MSGOP/ABC/Whorington Post/

CNBC and the Boston Globe have sure "helped" Chimpy!

They've helped in DOWN, DOWN, DOWN!!!


DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN

It's nice to see that many people do not buy the mediawhore lines!

2. I was trying to figure out why his ratings suddenly dropped

when no one event has happened to cause that. I think he did get a small bounce from the press conference, but that has evaporated.

3. Mission Accomplished

one year anniversary next week. The *war's* been over for a Year!!

And folks aren't *happy*? :mad:

5. Holy @#$%! Look at these numbers!

Just 32 percent, the lowest number ever, say Iraq was a threat that required immediate military action a year ago.

Less than half, 47 percent, now say the U.S. did the right thing taking military action in Iraq, the lowest support recorded in CBS News/New York Times Polls since the war began.

There are growing concerns about the long-term impact of the war. 41 percent now think the war increased the threat of terrorism against the U.S. 71 percent say the Administration’s policies have worsened the U.S.’s image in the Arab world.

<snip>

The public’s assessments of the Bush Administration’s decision-making before (and after) the war are also negative.

Seven in ten don’t believe the Administration claims that the decision to go to war was made in March 2003, and say the Bush Administration had decided to go to war earlier than that.

61 percent believe the Administration did not try hard enough to reach a diplomatic solution before going to war in Iraq -- a reversal of the public’s belief last year during the war.

For now, only 31 percent believe the Administration has a clear plan to turn over power in Iraq; 32 percent say it has a clear plan to rebuild the country.

10. Yikes!

"71 percent say the Administration?s policies have worsened the U.S.?s image in the Arab world."

It's hard to imagine what world that other 29% live in.

6. "They" have decided Bush isn't fit to lead

So the real polls have been released. :tinfoilhat:

[mouse7]

7. I have to agree. This is a wee bit transparent.

A decision has been made somewhere.

[bemildred]

9. "They" have decided he is a liability.

It is already clear that they didn't and don't care about
fitness to lead as such. He is far from the best that
America has to offer, eh?

8. More poll nonsense

It gets the Freepers worked up, too. That's mildly funny.

A poll of "adults" that includes weekend calling. How nice. I guess they didn't like the polls of likely voters.

A poll of totally random average people just outside the local GLBT club HQ?

11. 32 percent?

Where were these dumbasses before the invasion. Sheeple is being too kind...

Oh well, I'm glad to see the apparent shift, but geezus Kryst, did it have to take thousands of dead babies, children, men and women???
