More Favor Dems Getting Tougher on Iraq


The proportion of Americans saying Democratic leaders in Congress are not going far enough in challenging President Bush's Iraq policies has been increasing fairly steadily since March, when 40% expressed this view; the October figure is 47%. The remainder of the public is divided over whether Democratic leaders have gone too far (21%) or have taken an approach that is about right (23%).

Partisan differences on this question are stark: Almost two-thirds of Democrats (65%) say party leaders are not going far enough in challenging the administration's Iraq polices, up nine points since March. Just 21% of Republicans share this view. Among independents, 48% say Democrats are not challenging President Bush's policies on Iraq enough, while 19% say Democratic leaders are going too far and 23% say they are handling the situation about right.

2. This is very important. The Dems keep saying the public opposes cutting funds,

but that's the only option congress has if they want to go any farther.

I think the Dems are wrong. I think the public supports "going farther."
