WASHINGTON — As President Bush weighs changing course in Iraq, Americans are increasingly pessimistic about the war and want most U.S. troops withdrawn within a year, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday says. Three of four support the major recommendations unveiled by the Iraq Study Group last week. Most predict the administration won’t implement the bipartisan commission’s proposals, however. And fewer than 1 in 5 have “a great deal” of trust in Bush to “recommend the right thing” for the United States to do in Iraq. Confidence in Democratic congressional leaders to chart the proper course is even lower, at 14%.
Results like these have been the downfall of the Republicans. No matter how awful they are on the war, most folks think the Democrats would be worse. Which leaves the door wide open for the Republicans to be just as awful as they want to be.
