a new poll out has 71% for and 24% against in america..

Absurd.
Depending on how the questions was asked, (If it was phrased as should the US get UN approval first) there there was no majority for war.

When various price tags were put on support dropped.
I read that poll and came to the conclusion that we are very very deeply divided and there is no general concensus for war vial unilateral action, which at this moment is all we are likely to see.

If you are talking about a different poll than the one I read, show a link.

This is what I recall. Can not find the silly link but this reference is exactly what I remember
washingtonpost.com

Two questions from a recent New York Times/CBS News poll: "Should the United States take military action against Iraq fairly soon, or wait and give the United Nations and weapons inspectors more time?" A majority said more time, no rush to war.

And: "Do you think removing Saddam Hussein from power is worth the potential loss of American life and the other costs of attacking Iraq?" A majority said yes, it's worth it, go for it.

This shows the public is damn confused if anything.
In all questions about UN approval as well as more time for inspections, the public wanted to wat for UN approval and give time to inspections. To say on the basis of that poll the US is in favor of war is a misrepresentation of the facts. If you have a link to that poll or are referring to a different poll I would like to see the questions.
