Snip: <Majority of Americans believe Bush administration misled public on
Iraq

Tue Jun 28, 2:14 AM ET

Most Americans now believe that President George W. Bush's
administration "intentionally misled" the public in going to war in
Iraq, according to a poll.

The ABC News/Washington Post poll came on the eve of a key speech in
which Bush will seek public support for the war, which 53 percent of
Americans who were surveyed said was not worth fighting.

A record 57 percent say the Bush administration "intentionally
exaggerated its evidence that pre-war Iraq possessed nuclear,
chemical or biological weapons," according to the poll.

It was the first time a majority said the
administration "intentionally misled" the public, the survey said.

The poll also shows 56 percent disapprove of Bush's handling of
Iraq, including 44 percent who "strongly disapprove".

Still, 53 percent remain optimistic rather than pessimistic about
the prospects for Iraq in the next year, the poll said.

And nearly six in 10, or 58 percent, want US troops to stay in Iraq
until civil order has been restored, while 41 percent asked for
their withdrawal.

The Bush administration has rejected calls from US lawmakers,
including from the president's Republican Party, to set a firm
timetable on the withdrawal of US troops.>

1. Is the number actually going up as he's speaking?
They should have a poll before and after the speech.

2. That would be interesting
I wonder who's watching though?? He's probably just preaching to the choir.
