Most Polls Show Wide Support for Iraq Troop Withdrawal

Editor & Publisher:

The fact is, not “some” polls, but virtually every major poll shows that American have long declared that going to war against Iraq was a mistake.

And far more than “independent voters” are drawn to withdrawal. Every major poll reveals that a majority of Americans advocate withdrawals from Iraq, with large numbers wanting this to be quite speedy, and most wanting a full pullout in a year or so (Kerry’s idea) or by the end of next year.

This is hardly a “some” position. A CNN poll, for example, conducted June 14-15 found that 53% favored a timetable for withdrawal, while 41% opposed it. Yet newspaper editorials, as usual, remain mute on this and the Senate today soundly trounced the Democrats’ withdrawal pleas, even a wishy-washy one put forward by Sen. Carl Levin.
