Poll: More Favor Congressional Defunding Of War Than Oppose It
By Eric Kleefeld

A remarkable new poll finds slightly more respondents favor Congressional defunding of the entire Iraq war than favor continued funding. The new Fox News poll asked a stark question, devoid of any nuance: "If you were a member of Congress, would you vote for continued funding of the Iraq war or would you vote against funding the war altogether to try to force a withdrawal?" Forty-five percent said they'd vote against funding, while 44% said they'd vote to fund the war. While this is a virtual tie, it suggests that the political atmosphere is far more favorably disposed towards Congressional defunding of the war — or at least the escalation — than the conventional wisdom of commentators, and the actions thus far by Congressional Democrats, would suggest.

6. Stunning- just last week an AP poll had a whopping 68% opposed to cutting funds-

60% oppose cutting funding for more troops

7. I read this last week and didn't believe it. I think it was the way

the question was phrased (maybe people took it to mean the opposite of what was said) and especially since the results of the other war questions were the exact opposite (if that makes sense!)

8. Now lets see them

hold that same poll only this time ask the international bankers and other members of the federal reserve.

That would be interesting news.
