That number is the highest level yet in the AP-Ipsos polling.


AP:

The death of al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq came as more Americans than ever thought the war in Iraq was a mistake, according to AP-Ipsos polling.

The poll, taken Monday through Wednesday before news broke that U.S. forces had killed al-Zarqawi, found that 59 percent of adults say the United States made a mistake in going to war in Iraq ? the highest level yet in AP-Ipsos polling.

Approval of President Bush’s handling of Iraq dipped to 33 percent, a new low. His overall job approval was 35 percent, statistically within range of his low of 33 percent last month. The poll of 1,003 adults has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Here’s a very dark lining to that 59% Iraq War disapproving number:  Perhaps up to 40% or 100 million or so American adults or near adults actually believe that the Iraq collection of murderous atrocities being billed by the msm as a war was the RIGHT THING TO DO.  Perhaps Halliburton can find time in its busy schedule to construct a special place in Hell for this crowd.

‘Wagging the Dog’ cannot save this presidency from the cellar. Perhaps immigration, gay marriage, ‘threats’ to impeach and other WMD (Weapons of Mass Distraction) will fair better.
