NYT/CBS poll: 80% see through Bush's latest Iraq cheerleading

The poll found that just 29 percent of Americans approve of the way President Bush is managing the war in Iraq, matching the lowest mark of his presidency. Nearly 70 percent of Americans said Mr. Bush did not have a plan to end the war, and an overwhelming 80 percent said Mr. Bush’s latest effort to rally public support for the conflict amounted to a change in language but not policy.

The poll underlined the extent to which the war has framed the midterm elections. Americans cited Iraq as the most important issue affecting their vote, and majorities of Republicans and Democrats said they wanted a change in the government’s approach to the war. Only 20 percent said they thought the United States was winning in Iraq, down from a high of 36 percent in January.

1. So finally even the ignorant of America are waking up to reality.

Perhaps a few deaths can be prevented in future.

2. 29% approve of Bush's handling of Iraq

and 44% approve of his handling of terrorism. And those are his best numbers.

under the present administration (Iran, N. Korea, who knows who else)?
