Poll: Most say Bush has no Iraq victory plan Tuesday, December 13, 2005 Posted: 1420 GMT (2220 HKT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Despite a series of recent speeches spelling out the administration's policies on Iraq, the majority of Americans in a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll said they do not believe President Bush has a plan that will achieve victory in Iraq. Fifty-eight percent of those polled said Bush doesn't have a clear plan on Iraq, compared to 38 percent who said they believe Bush does have a plan for victory. At the same time, the poll found that 63 percent of the respondents believe Iraqis have made real progress toward establishing a democratic state over the past two years. Thirty-four percent said they don't believe Iraq has made real democratic strides. (See interactive approval ratings for President Bush during his second term) The poll, released Monday night, was conducted with 1,003 Americans who were interviewed by telephone Friday through Sunday. It has a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. Nearly three out of five Americans, 59 percent, said they disapproved of the way Bush is handling Iraq; 39 percent said they approve. continued............... edition.cnn.com

Al, A total of 94% think God exists, but only 87% of conservatives and 67% of liberals do, women82% men73%, etc......how does one get to a total of 94% overall when none of the groups exceed 94%? From the article: But how strongly do the believers believe? Nearly 8 in 10, in fact, say they are "convinced" God exists, although Gallup does not ask them why that is. Conservatives are more likely to be convinced than liberals (87% vs. 61%), women a little more likely than men (82% vs. 73%), and residents of the South more than those in the East (88% vs. 70%). There's your answer. The breakdown relates to those who are "convinced" that God exists, not just those who just "think" God exists. Tenchusatsu
