WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Three years after President Bush declared major combat over in Iraq, Americans have strong doubts that the United States will fulfill the promise of his "Mission Accomplished" backdrop, a poll released Monday found.

The CNN poll, conducted April 21-23 by Opinion Research Corporation, found that only 9 percent thought the U.S. mission in Iraq had been accomplished, while another 40 percent believed it would be complete someday.

Another 44 percent said the United States would never accomplish its goals in Iraq, where American troops are still battling insurgents three years after the invasion that toppled former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

3. What mission? Most people don't know what that is.

So how can they define when it is accomplished?

6. That's the real question! What is the mission?

It's been re-defined and morphed so many times, no one is sure what the mission is/was. If it was to remove Saddam, then it's complete. Game over, time to come home.

4. I will alway be suspicios of polls.

Not because they are inherently wrong, but because people are fickle (although the polling companies can skew the poll depending on the ratio of repubs to dems in the sample). Bush was once high up in the polls.

5. OK, I suppose 9% is as far down as Bush can go in his approvals

Any one who thinks the mission was accomplished will believe any thing.
