| - by user Andrewrosin We're looking at a nation that supports the troops. Black, White. Conservative, Liberal. To anybody, we're proud of those whom have laid everything out on the line for those who fight for our freedoms. It's more than three days out of the year too. It's more than lip service. It's even come to the point where the strongly religious are starting to see the light on this matter. According to this USA Today/Gallup Poll from Feburary 12th, it's beyond all possible margins of error. Attend church weekly: 56% support, 41% oppose. Nearly weekly/monthly: 68% support, 31% oppose.

| - by user Andrewrosin We're looking at a nation that supports the troops. Black, White. Conservative, Liberal. To anybody, we're proud of those whom have laid everything out on the line for those who fight for our freedoms. It's more than three days out of the year too. It's more than lip service. But with flawed pre-war reasoning, a flawed war strategy, and a stubborn insistence that neither one was true. The leaders betrayed the troops. They keep betraying the troops. And two-thirds of the country is tired of it. They don't want any more troops in, and they want the rest of the troops away from Iraq. It's even come to the point where the strongly religious are starting to see the light on this matter. According to this USA Today/Gallup Poll from Feburary 12th, it's beyond all possible margins of error. (http://http://blog.faithinpubliclife.org/2007/02/support_for_bush_policy_in_ira.html The Poll in Question) Attend church weekly: 56% support, 41% oppose. Nearly weekly/monthly: 68% support, 31% oppose. Seldom/never: 65% support, 33% oppose. As you can see, those who say they attend religious services weekly were the least likely to support the idea of Congress setting a timetable to bring U.S. forces home by the end of next year. Now, the poll also shows that the churchgoers are the most amenable to the troop surge. But even within the deeply religious, the tide is turning against this surge. Attend church weekly: 46% favor, 53% oppose. (The January poll was 46/49 for the surge.) Nearly weekly/monthly: 35% favor, 62% oppose. Seldom/never: 34% favor, 63% oppose. Does it mean anything? Probably not. The President still has the keys to the car, and he's got his sword pointed toward Iran. However, if the Democrats decide to get aggressive on Iraq, polls like this show that the ramifcations would not be nearly as dire as some would lead you to believe. __NOEDITSECTION__ From The Opinion Wiki, a Wikia wiki.
