Democrats in big, big trouble because of the Great Iraq War -- again The Beltway media script never changes. Glenn Greenwald [2007-11-08]

• More bad news for Democrats from CNN poll

  Oh, dear. Even more bad news for Democrats in the latest CNN poll:

  Support for the war in Iraq has dropped to 31 percent and the 68 percent who oppose the war is a new record.

  Despite the drop in violence in Iraq, only one quarter of Americans believes the U.S. is winning the war. There has been virtually no change in the past month in the number of Americans who believe that things are going badly for the U.S. in the war in Iraq.

  The public also opposes U.S. military action against Iran. Sixty-three percent oppose air strikes on Iran, while 73 percent oppose using ground troops as well as air strikes in that country.

  Overall, 56 percent, of Americans are dissatisfied with progress in the war on terrorism.

  Republicans everywhere are celebrating. They just love those numbers and it's now time to “pop those corks” – “champagne!” - “we’re winning!” – “it’s another great day to be a proud pro-war Republican!”
