Poll: Iraq war opposition at record high

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...t-record-high/

Opposition to the war in Iraq has reached an all-time high, according to the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Thursday morning.

Support for the war in Iraq has dropped to 31 percent, and the 68 percent who oppose the war is a new record, up slightly from last month. The last time a majority supported the war was in 2003, when 54 percent answered affirmatively.

Despite a recent drop in violence in Iraq, only one quarter of Americans believes the United States is winning the war, while 62 percent believe neither the Americans nor the insurgents are winning. There has been virtually no change in the past month in the number of Americans who believe that things are going badly for the United States in the war in Iraq.

President Bush, speaking Wednesday during a visit to Mount Vernon — first president George Washington's Virginia home — with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, dismissed a reporter's use of the term "quagmire" to describe the situation in Iraq and insisted the United States was "making progress."

"If you lived in Iraq and had lived under a tyranny, you'd be saying, 'God, I love freedom,' because that's what's happened," he said. "And there are killers and radicals and murderers who kill the innocent to stop the advance of freedom. But freedom's happening in Iraq. And we're making progress."

The public also opposes U.S. military action against Iran. Sixty-three percent oppose air strikes on Iran, while 73 percent oppose using ground troops as well as air strikes in that country.

Seventy percent said they oppose any military strike on Iran, slightly higher than a 2005 number of 66 percent but significantly higher than 2002's 23 percent.

Bush, who has refused to take possible military action against Iran for its nuclear ambitions off the table — while insisting that diplomacy is the first option — said Wednesday that his strong language was necessary to send "clear signals" to Tehran "that the free world understands the risks of you trying to end up with a nuclear weapon."

Overall, more than half (56 percent) of Americans are dissatisfied with progress in the war on terrorism, representing a steady decline since 2002, when only 24 percent said they were dissatisfied.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation telephone poll of 1,024 American adults was carried out over the weekend. The sampling error for the full sample was plus-or-minus 3 percentage points; some questions were asked of a half sample of approximately 500 respondents and carry a sampling error of plus-or-minus 4.5 percentage points.

Just once I'd love for someone to call me and ask what I think. Who do they call? I've never heard of anyone that I know ever participating in any of these polls.

I was called me once for a presidential poll. It wasn't CNN. Rasmussen, I think.
