Four in 10, or 40 percent, approve of the way Bush is handling Iraq, while 53 percent disapprove. That's down from six in 10 who approved in mid-January, according to the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Bush's overall job approval is at 43 percent, a low point for his presidency, down from 56 percent in mid-January.
I don't put much stock in polls because they change so frequently.
We are a fickle bunch in America.
I'm all for letting troops come home, but it may be the wrong thing to do for Iraq now that we've torn it apart. Too bad we went there in the first place is what I say!
Polls are critical to politicians who live inside the beltway and exist in a rather insular world to hear from their constituency.
And I agree: bring the troops home immediately.
They're fighting a hopeless guerilla war in a nation not remotely interested in western-style democracy. Especially, one forced on them by Bush who has both his beady eyes focused on their oil.
Sadly, I fear our troops will be in Iraq for a generation.
Stumble It!
