The view among Americans of President Bush and major issues including the Iraq war are vastly improved of late, according to an ABC poll just released.
Here are some of the positives in the story which will be summarily ignored in Canadian media, because it doesn’t fit the liberal-left media’s world view and anti-Bush sentiment, and because it does nothing to help the liberal-left’s election campaign here in Canada.
If things keep looking this good for President Bush, watch for Prime Minister Martin to go all pro-Bush on us. It’s all about appearances, baby!
[…] Specifically, belief that the United States is making significant progress toward establishing a democratic government in Iraq has jumped dramatically, by 18 points, to 65 percent. A sense of progress in establishing civil order similarly is up, by 16 points, to 60 percent. Each is its best since these questions first were asked in the spring of 2004.
Moreover — in a view held by majorities across party lines — 71 percent of Americans believe the Iraqi elections have moved the United States closer to the day U.S. forces can be withdrawn. Fifty-four percent express optimism about Iraq in the year ahead, eight points more than at this time last year. And 56 percent think the United States is winning the war, a recent theme of the president’s, up slightly from 51 percent in August.
[…] On the issue of troop deployment, six in 10 continue to oppose setting a deadline for withdrawal of U.S. forces, given the counter-position that doing so would encourage Iraqi insurgents. Support for immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces, never high, is now just 12 percent.
