"Personally I prefer actions that move more toward putting Iraqis more in charge of their country and Americans less in charge"

Good. Because that is the purpose of the temporary addition of troops: to divide Baghdad into nine segments that may be secured and held. Currently, Iraqis are incapable of controlling the mayhem and taking "charge of their country".

The action of a temporary troop addition appears to be the only workable means to achieve the end that you seek. Withdrawing troops at this time does not put the Iraqui government "in charge". It sets them up for complete and utter failure--and nullifies all the work and all the lives sacrificed.

So the poll response seems utterly thoughtless to me...
