Poll: Bush speeches fail to rouse support for Iraq war
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush has been unable to reassure Americans
about the war in Iraq, with nearly 60 percent of those surveyed in a new CNN poll saying his administration has "deliberately misled" the public about the progress of the war. Despite a recent speaking tour aimed at bolstering support for the conflict, only 32 percent told pollsters they approve of Bush's management of the war. And support for the war itself slipped to 38 percent, down from 40 percent in a CNN poll last week. The survey, conducted for CNN by Opinion Research Corporation, questioned 1,014 adults from Friday through Monday. It had a sampling error of 3 percentage points. See full poll results |
