Excerpt:

A new poll shows support for the war in Iraq has slightly risen in the past two weeks, with 56 percent of Americans now saying the situation there was worth going to war over. Fifty-four percent of Americans said that at the beginning of the month.

Similarly, the Gallup poll shows a majority of Americans say the decision to go to war was the right thing to do, compared with 31 percent who disagree. Seventeen percent say it's too soon to tell.

What's more, 48 percent of Americans now say the war in Iraq has made the U.S. safer from terrorism, up from 45 percent last month.

All this as polls show the President's current approval rating -- 50 percent -- is tied for the lowest of his presidency.

I say:

Dubya's never been below (roughly) 50% approval rating? [link|http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/raasch/r050.htm|How many US presidents can we say that of?] I tell ya, all this media scaremongering and ANSWER temper tantrumming isn't quite doing it.

Of course, the only poll that matters is the election. Unless you're one of the [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=82445|"we wuz robbed!!!"] crowd. In which case, elections only matter when the results please you, the masses are "uninformed" and deserving of "contempt", and "democracy" is just a word. In other words, only elitists believe they wuz robbed.
