Gallup: 57% Say U.S. Won't Win in Iraq Editor And Publisher | April 17 2006 NEW YORK A report on a new Gallup poll released today shows that President Bush approval rating on his handling of Iraq is now at 32% -- tied for the lowest rating Gallup has measured. The survey, taken April 7-9, also shows that 57% of Americans think the United States will not win in Iraq. In a surprise, the new poll found that 44% of Republicans now back withdrawing some or all troops from Iraq. The number for all Americans, 64%, is higher, but the fact that better than 4 in 10 Republicans back this idea is notable. Indepedents are tracking much closer to Democrats on all issues related to Iraq. In another finding, 57% of Americans say it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq, while 42% say it was not. Since December 2005, either a plurality or majority of Americans have said it was a mistake. The breakdown on the troop pullout question is: 36% say to withdraw "some" troops, while 28% want to withdraw all troops. --------------------------------------------------- Please help our fight against the New World Order by giving a donation.
