Poll Shows Rise In Number Of Americans Who Want Dems To Be Tougher With Bush On Iraq
By Greg Sargent - November 7, 2007, 5:52PM

A new Pew poll released today shows a clear jump in the number of Americans who want the Dem Congress to get tougher with Bush in ending the Iraq War.

The survey finds that nearly half -- 47% -- say that Dems aren't doing enough to challenge the President over Iraq. That's a seven-point jump from last spring. In contrast, barely one-fifth think Congress has gone "too far." And tellingly, nearly half of independents -- 48% -- want more action from Congress on ending the war, too.

The poll also contains some bad news -- but also some good -- for the Dem Congressional leadership. While overall approval of the whole Congress has fallen to 31%, a solid majority of 54% says they remain happy that Dems won control last year, suggesting that GOP claims that the Dems have blown it with the public are not supported by the numbers.
