No wonder the WH is trying again to put the Democrats - and the majority of Americans - on the defensive. Sounds like we are past the tipping point on most issues:
- CNN... asked the public if the war in Iraq is part of the war on terrorism. Fifty-three percent said "no;" 45 percent said "yes."
- By 45 percent to 32 percent, people are more likely to think the best way to lessen the terror threat is to reduce, not increase, the U.S. military presence overseas, according to a poll released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
- Two-thirds said the U.S. is less respected by other countries these days than it was in the past, the Pew poll found. The Iraq war was mentioned by 68 percent as a top reason people are unhappy with the U.S.
- Six in 10 in an AP-Ipsos poll said there will be more terrorism in the United States because the U.S. went to war in Iraq.
