Ad decried Most Americans — 58 percent — disapprove of MoveOn.org's newspaper ad that branded Army Gen. David H. Petraeus as "General Betray Us," according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released yesterday. Just 23 percent of voters approved of the liberal group's full-page ad that ran in the New York Times to coincide with Gen. Petraeus' testimony Sept. 10 before Congress on the progress of the Iraq war, according to the telephone survey Sunday of 1,000 likely voters. The ad didn't fare much better with self-identified liberal voters, 45 percent of whom approved of the ad while 39 percent disapproved. The New York Times acknowledged this weekend that the ad violated the newspaper's policy against "opinion advertisements that are attacks of a personal nature" and that the paper improperly charged the liberal group $64,575, or less than half the standard rate. MoveOn.org promised to now pay the full price, according to the newspaper. The Rasmussen poll showed that 47 percent of adults say "stunts like the MoveOn.org ad" hurt the causes in which they believe.
