Americans Are For the War Before They're Against It...and For It Again

Don Surber points out some interesting results from a Gallup poll on the Iraq War:

“I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.” — John Kerry, March 17, 2004, Huntington, W.Va.

Well, two can play that game. The Gallup Poll surveyed Americans and found 66% favor the Bush plan to keep 130,000 troops in Iraq.

The poll also showed 63% favor the Democratic plan to withdraw most of the troops by next summer.

Gallup’s Frank Newport: “Looking at this more closely, the data show that a substantial number of Americans (45%) favors both plans.”

The next time you hear some politician claiming poll-based support for one plan or another, keep this in mind.
