Americans Still Trust George W. Bush

Americans Still Trust George W. Bush

The majority of American population support the army campaign in Iraq
According to a recent opinion poll conducted by Gallup, Americans are getting tired of the Iraqi campaign, although they still support the military operation. Forty-two percent of respondents believe that the military operation in Iraq should not have been launched. However, 56 percent said that they still supported the campaign
A similar poll conducted in the middle of April (after the end of the military stage of the operation) showed, 73 percent of Americans supported it and only 23 percent were against it.
Gallup agency analysts believe, American people have been disappointed with the army campaign in Iraq for several reasons. The main reason is connected with the inability of the coalition to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The disappointment is also explained with the guerrilla warfare, in which American servicemen die.

According to the latest information, only 53 percent of respondents believe that weapons of mass destruction will be found in Iraq. This view was shared by 84 percent of Americans at the end of March, when the army operation was in full swing.

American people are also disappointed with the results of the operation on the whole. Only 48 percent of respondents believe that coalition forces will manage to find Saddam Hussein (70 percent of people were sure of that in April). Fifty-two percent of Americans think that it will be possible to establish a democratic government in Iraq (vs. 65 percent in April) and 56 percent believe that the American administration is doing fine in Iraq (70 percent thought so in April).

[DemBones DemBones]

3. I trust George W. Bush*. . .

[Cha]

4. Bullshit,,,I don't believe it....the "polls" lie....

Screw the polls,,,the polls said bush was going to win the popular vote,,,,the repukes skewed those polls, too....

buck fush

[whathappened]

5. i'm with ya all the way

these dam polls are all b.s. , they are pay for by who and for who , sameo , sameo every poll shows bush shining like a new nickel

[Nottingham]

8. The Article title is Misleading!

Cause the article does show Polls are decreasing steadily!
over the months we are there in Iraq.

I think Russia is surprised at the American's blindness

:bounce:

I agree with ya all I think Gallop polls are Bogus Bull!

[number6]

23. they sure are .....

polls = BS

[indictrichardperle]

7. speaking of war profiteering

i saw Ken Adelman on Hardball, when asked if the US needed any more troops in Iraq, after Tweety just listed the US troops recently killed.....Adelman didnt blink an eye "oh no, he smiled, we just need to train alot more Iraqi policeman"

Dyncorp, Bechtel, Halliburton......they make loads of cash every time a "police training facility" is set up.

These war profiteering neo-con chickhawks are damn near treasonous.

[Randi_Listener]

9. I must disagree

There not "damn near treasonous". That horse left the barn weeks ago. It's time to call these cash-for-GI-lives deals what they are.

[Nottingham]

10. How Long can they keep putting out the Bull shit!

:bounce:

[Cha]

12. Yeah!,,,they need more "Iraqi Policeman",,,,because 7 were ...

just killed by the Iraqis...

adelbrain didn't mention that did he?

[DrBB]

11. "Almost half of all all Americans DON'T trust Bush"

...would be an equally accurate headline.

[bvar22]

13. Another accurate headline could read:

Support for bush* plummets!!!!

[Nottingham]

14. Right On BVar thats what the article says the Polls plummented!

:bounce:

[Rose Siding]

15. You'd think Pravda might at least mention

the State-slanted bias of the US media. A chunk of that fading approval may be based on insight beyond the reporter's and intuition!

[Zero Gravitas]

17. Exactly

The whores are still spinning for Bush. 23% were against compared to 42% in this pole. As more Americans die and more WMDs are not found that number is only going to go up. Hopefuly AOLTimeWarner Inc., General Electric, News Corp. et. al. are just re-arragning the deck chairs on the Titanic.

[sirius]

16. Polls are BOUGHT AND PAID FOR PROPAGANDA!!!

Unfortunately they are tolerated and respected by Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public because it's easier to be told how we think than to actually gather information and reach our own conclusions. Herd mentality. Primate grooming. Canadian News on NWI a while back ran a wonderful piece on how polling is actually conducted, the cube rats who are paid by the number of replies they receive, therefore "fudging" a bit if they get a hangup, or an answer that doesn't jibe with the tone of the poll "buyer". There are supposed to be supervisors walking around to ensure accuracy, etc. Interpreting the poll data? Give me a break. How often do we see a headline that is completely bass-ackwards from the material inside?

[muchacho]

32. Florida?

>>the cube rats who are paid by the number of replies they receive, >>therefore "fudging" a bit if they get a hangup, or an answer that >>doesn't jibe with the tone of the poll "buyer".

Were these the same rats in charge of the Florida recount?

[fshrink]

18. I'd like to know how many of my

fellow americans think Dr. No is a threat to our security and economy. I'm serious.

[Sliverofhope]

19. We should create a bumper sticker that says

I do not trust Bush.

Just simple as that. If they were posted all around, the lie that he was popular would be absolutely destroyed. Anybody got a printer?

[young_at_heart]

20. Is total secrecy something Americans blindly trust?

How much do we know about the "real" story behind Iraq? Also no one ever talks about 9/11 info any more.......shouldn't we find out the "details" of the numerous unanswered questions? Secrecy, secrecy, secrecy.......that's the name of the game and it ought to really scare people. I want my country back!

[TankLV]

21. Just 1 question - Why? - & some of you wonder why we call them "sheeple".

They deserve NO respect.

[absolutezero]

22. atleast its going down

and isn't gallup a load of crap anyway?

[shanti]

24. good grief!

are most americans stupid, stubborn, or just intellectually lazy? OH, another poll!

never mind :evilgrin:

[wtmusic]

25. 'Americans' is plural

There ya have it

[bluestateguy]

26. 56-42

That is about the margin by which the public supported the war before the war started. The pre-war equilibrium seems to have returned, but momentum seems to be in the hands of the anti-war side.

[ThomasJefferson]

27. I agree

I agree, the polls ares propaganda, Bush and co lie to the whole world and his peoples too, the polls ares done by the Gov press medias, they biase the results, or they take datas from neo fascist racists layers of US peoples, claiming that ares done from all repressetative US peoples.

[Rose Siding]

29. The pre-invasion #'s included

"with UN support" in the questions. We never got that.

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. It's not so much that Americans trust Junior.......

....as they trust the media. Totally oblivious to the fact that Murdoch, the defense contractors, and Clear Channel are selling them complete lies and bullshit. And if the corporate media tells them that the Idiot Son of an Asshole is the greatest pResident in history (except for Reagan) then who are they to question?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

31. they all need to read "The Iron Triangle" by Dan Briody

inside the secert world of the Carlyle Group!
and the "Military Industrial Complex" that Ike tried to warn america against as he left the presidency...and we didn't heed his warning :(

[Nottingham]

33. Oh Thanks I'm gonna have to read that Book!

Putting that on my must read list

34. based on what?

mindboggling
