Seen the poll that sez 29% think Iraq is going well?

I encountered the statement this a.m. in a report about the WMD/Niger Uranium flap, and didn't have time to note or research it. But my jaw hit the floor. I think the article was foreign--Aussie, maybe--but they were quoting an American poll. If it's true, it's astonishing. I thought the numbers were dropping but still better than half saying "Iraq is going okay." Maybe they were citing an online poll or something, but it was in a respectable news source, I remember that much--that's why I was so amazed. The number in my subject line may not be exactly right, but IIRC it was in the 20s.

Any of you poll watchers know where this might have come from?

1. Not that one.

Everyone I saw yesterday had 54% say it is going well.

3. Ah, I think that does it

Must have been that "going very well" stat that they were quoting. Means the report I was reading was a bit left-slanted (though technically accurate). I guess there really is a liberal media out there, somewhere. "Pockets of resistance" as our Lords and Masters say.

Thanks!

on edit: and b.t.w., what a highly revealing and ugly (for Shrump) little gradient that is. Gotta love DU--the responses are often so much more interesting than the original thread post!
