BTW : This IS The Gallup Poll Mr. Henninger Referenced. It was taken on September 10,2003.It was largely influenced by the invasion of Iraq,which the American public are S-L-O-W-L-Y being allowed to realized was a flawed and UN - necessary military adventure,there-by highlighting the UN's position as the more prudent one going forward. And,BTW, a full 60% of Americans believe the US should continue to fund the UN at current or higher levels. These facts were conveniently left out of this piece of trash by Mr. Henninger and his neoCON stooges at the Wall Street Urinal....heh heh gallup.com Six in 10 Americans Say United Nations Doing Poor Job Highest negative rating for U.N. in Gallup polling history by Jeffrey M. Jones GALLUP NEWS SERVICE PRINCETON, NJ -- The United States is now looking for increased U.N. involvement in the reconstruction of Iraq, representing a shift from earlier policy favoring a more limited U.N. role. The United Nations' refusal to back the U.S.-led military action in Iraq has greatly affected the way Americans view the world organization. A recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll finds a majority of Americans saying the United Nations' failure to support the Iraq invasion caused them to view the United Nations less favorably. In addition, 6 in 10 Americans now say the United Nations is doing a poor job of handling the problems it has had to face, the highest negative rating Gallup has measured on this item since 1953. Nevertheless, 61% of Americans believe the United States should continue to fund the United Nations at current or higher levels. Decision Not to Support Iraq Invasion Causes U.N. Ratings to Plummet The latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, conducted Aug. 25-26, finds 37% of Americans saying the United Nations is doing "a good job of trying to solve the problems it has had to face," while 60% say it is doing a poor job. The latter figure is the highest negative percentage Gallup has measured since it began asking the question in 1953 (the United Nations was founded in 1945). Historically, there have been times when the positive ratings of the United Nations have been lower than the 37% found in the most recent poll. For example, just 28% of Americans said the United Nations was doing a good job in August 1985, two months after Muslim terrorists hijacked a TWA airliner, held passengers hostage for two weeks, and killed one American. However, when the percentage giving the United Nations a positive evaluation was lower than it is now, a substantial proportion of Americans did not have an opinion of the organization, so the percentage of negative evaluations never reached 60%.
