The Left Shrieks, America Shrugs. New Poll Strongly Supports Iraq Action AND Iran Action
|
James Taranto, Opinion Journal.com
We're not surprised, but we expect the demented wing of the Democratic Party will be quite agitated, that a new Washington Post/ABC poll (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/polls/vault/stories/data062403.htm) finds Americans blasé about the lack thus far of weapons finds in Iraq. Sixty-seven percent of those polled approve of the way President Bush is handling the situation in Iraq, while a mere 30% disapprove.
Methinks that the majority of this 30% can be found in the traditional leftist bastions of San Francisco, NYC, college campuses and wherever Howard Dean groupies gather.
That's a shift of only eight percentage points toward disapproval at a time when Bush's opponents have been working themselves into a lather about the president's purported "lies." Asked if the liberation of Iraq would be justified even if no weapons of mass destruction are ever found, 63% said yes and only 23% said no.
This has got to be utterly disheartening to all the Bush-haters out there.
The poll also asks the following question: Thinking about another country in the region: Would you support or oppose the United States taking military action against Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons? Fifty-six percent support military action against Iran, while only 38% oppose it.
Wow, this is bordering on shocking. I have to wonder if the polling methodoloby was manked up.
And we thought we were hawkish.
