WASHINGTON - Americans are skeptical about the turnover of political control to Iraqis at a time the country has not been stabilized, according to polls released Monday.


By a 2-1 margin, Americans say the turnover of political control to Iraqis now is not a sign of success, but a sign of failure because the nation's stability remains in question, according to a CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll. Still, three-fourths in the poll approved of the U.S. handover of authority to Iraqis.


The U.S.-led coalition in Iraq (news - web sites) transferred sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government Monday — two days early.


In the Gallup poll, six in 10 said the handover of authority at such an unstable point is a sign of failure, while about three in 10, 32 percent, said the handover of authority on schedule is a sign of success, according to the Gallup poll taken last week.

2. The real sign of failure is that

people actually think that a "handover" has taken place. The only thing that has been handed over is the place where the "blame buck" stops.
