A USA Today/Gallup Poll shows George Bush’s approval at a new low of 29%. A new high, 62%, also say it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq. Over 70% favor removal of most troops by April.
Despite Bush’s low approval rating, and despite other recent polls showing strong public support for impeachment, a majority in this poll opposed impeachment proceedings by 62%-36%. Of course impeachment proceedings would only be seriously considered should investigations provide sufficient evidence, and such investigations could also affect public opinion. Better understanding of the manner in which the Bush administration deceived the country to get into this war could have a tremendous impact on public opinion.
Last night on the NBC nightly news, Brian Williams was talking about the Iraq war–I think he was interviewing a military consultant. And he said, now that there is a “tilt” against this war…. A “tilt”??
I pointed out the word to my daughter because she noticed it, too. I think 60-70% calling this war a mistake and wanting our troops home is a lot bigger than a tilt. When will the MSM catch up to the American people?
Janet,
It is definately more than a tilt. Any “tilt” occured months ago.
What I find evden more annoying that calling it a “tilt” is when people call opposition to the war an extreme left wing position. It is not a left wing position–it is the mainstream position.
