Gallup: 50% of Americans Now Say Bush Deliberately Misled Them on WMDs

By E&P Staff

April 26, 2005

NEW YORK

Half of all Americans, exactly 50%, now say the Bush administration
deliberately misled Americans about whether Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction, the Gallup Organization reported this morning.

"This is the highest percentage that Gallup has found on this measure
since the question was first asked in late May 2003," the pollsters
observed.

"At that time, 31% said the administration deliberately misled
Americans. This sentiment has gradually increased over time, to 39% in
July 2003, 43% in January/February 2004, and 47% in October 2004."

Also, according to the latest poll, more than half of Americans, 54%,
disapprove of the way President Bush is handling the situation in
Iraq, while 43% approve.

In early February, Americans were more evenly divided on the way Bush
was handling the situation in Iraq, with 50% approving and 48%
disapproving.

Last week Gallup reported that 53% now believe that the U.S. invasion
of Iraq was "not worth it."

But Frank Newport, editor in chief at Gallup, recalled today that
although a majority of the public began to think the Vietnam war was a
mistake in the summer of 1968, the United States did not pull out of
Vietnam for more than five years, after thousands of more American
lives were lost.

Geez Harry, are those the same guys whose exit polls said Kerry was gonna
win in '04?

"Exactly Half"? Damn, I must not be a citizen of the United States then,
because I never had someone call me and ask me what I think.....

You idiots place to much faith in the polls....

Funny how you rightards crowed about the polls when they showed Bush's
approval rating high.

Fucking hypocrites.

And the fact that Gallup over-polls Repugs, it's a safe bet more than half
believe Bush deliberately lied.
