A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll finds just a third of Americans (32%) support the president's plan to send about 20,000 more troops to Iraq, while two-thirds oppose the plan (66%).People have figured out that Bush is leading the country off a cliff.
35% said Bush has a clear plan for Iraq, while 63% said he does not.
