Poll Watch people-press.org The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press reports on its latest poll: "Public support for the war in Iraq continues to decline, as a growing number of political independents are turning against the war. Overall, a 53% majority of Americans believe the U.S. should bring its troops home as soon as possible - up five points in the past month and the highest percentage favoring a troop pullout since the war began nearly four years ago. . . . "President Bush's standing with the public has changed little over the past few months. Just a third approve of the president's job performance, unchanged from last month." Pew once again asked respondents to come up with their own one-word description of Bush. "In the current survey, nearly half (47%) describe Bush in negative terms, such as 'arrogant,' 'idiot,' and 'ignorant.' Just 27% use words that are clearly positive, such as 'honest,' 'good,' 'integrity,' and 'leader.' "As was the case a year ago, the word mentioned more frequently than any other is 'incompetent.'"
