Americans Doubt That the United States Effort in Iraq Is Improving
Public Concerned Civil War in Iraq a Real Possibility
Analysis by JON COHEN
The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll shows broad public concern
about civil war in Iraq and a sharp spike in public doubt that the
United States is making progress there, both in terms of restoring
civil order and establishing a democratic Iraqi government.
The changes have not had much impact on views on how long U.S. forces
should remain in Iraq.
But they completely reverse gains in public optimism about Iraq that
immediately followed the parliamentary elections there in December.
Civil War?
Given the current unrest, 80 percent of Americans think it's likely
that the Shiite-Sunni conflict will lead to civil war in Iraq.
And a record 56 percent think the United States is not making
significant progress in restoring civil order there -- up 19 points
from its level shortly after the December election.
Americans also now evenly divide, 49 percent to 48 percent, on whether
the United States is making progress in establishing a democratic
government in Iraq.
After the December elections, in contrast, Americans, by a 2-1 ratio,
had seen progress on the political front.

Americans are beginning to recognize right-wing lies. They're getting
to be too obvious.
