Eds show graphic: 57% of Americans support Afghanistan occupation. 48% don't

[NNN0LHI]

Isn't that a 105%?

That must be a mistake.

1. I think the 48% was the previous support level

from the same pollster last month

6. No, Ed has a poorly designed graphic. See my post below.

4. YOU MISREAD IT. 57% to 35%. Poll Compares Dec 8 with Nov 18. You took "right thing" from 2 dates

You took the "right thing" numbers of both Dec 8 and Nov 18

You want the "right thing" 57% and "shouldn't be involved" 35% of December 8th.

TREND: Do you think the U.S. is doing the right thing by fighting the war in Afghanistan now, or should the U.S. not be involved in Afghanistan now?

Dec 8 / Nov 18 / Oct 7

Right thing 57 / 48 / 52

Shouldn't be inv 35 / 41 / 37

DK/NA 8 / 11 / 11


Sorry for the yelling but new posters seem to be missing this.
