It's short so I'll post the whole thing:

Gallup: 2 Out of 3 Americans Want U.S. Pull Out from Iraq

By E&P Staff

Published: March 02, 2006 6:30 PM ET

NEW YORK While newspaper editorials remain virtually silent on the subject, the American public seems to have made up its mind. A new Gallup/CNN/USA Today poll out tonight shows that 2 out of 3 adult Americans now want U.S. troops to start to come home from Iraq. And 55% call the decision to attack Iraq in 2003 a "mistake."

The same poll found President Bush's approval rating plunging to 38%. It was even lower in a CBS poll earlier this week: 34%.

In the poll, 38% said some troops should be withdrawn from Iraq now with another 27% say they all should come home.

Bush's handling of Iraq drew the support of just 35%, while 64 percent said they disapprove.

Of the 1,020 adults surveyed, 59% said President Bush can no longer manage the government effectively.

Wow, what about that last number!!!!! When are pollsters going to ask "Should Bush resign?" I bet they'll get over 50% on that one!!!!

Bush will not serve out his term, mark my words. He's heading off a cliff and he is too stupid to change course. He's dogmeat.

6. Agree - your highlighted number is pretty remarkable

the only thing more remarkable being how little the MSM will pay attention to it. It should be a green light for chimpeachment, in a just world.

7. Bush's approval rating near his record low (CNN/USA Today/Gallup)

President Bush's approval rating is mired near its record low amid concerns about his ability to manage the government and pessimism over the war in Iraq, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Thursday.

The poll, conducted Tuesday and Wednesday, found Bush's approval rating at 38 percent -- down a percentage point from a mid-February survey and just a point above his record low of 37 percent in November. His disapproval rating was 60 percent, tying November's worst-ever mark.

Of the 1,020 adults surveyed, 59 percent of those interviewed said Bush can't manage the government effectively, and 58 percent said he is not paying enough attention to what his administration is doing. (Read full poll results -- PDF)

Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said they consider Bush a strong leader, the poll found. But only 47 percent said they consider him honest and trustworthy, and 73 percent said they believe big business has too much of an influence over his administration.

8. We're finally waking up. W is the world corporate king

and could care less about American citizens. I listened to his speech in India basically declaring the new world order. He talked how this would help other countries and he offered our $ and nuclear info to them.

He's made us chopped liver without a second thought.

9. Another poll has him at 34%. Even Lou Dobbs mentioned that tonight.

Sinking like a rock! HA HA!

I guess we all have to understand that it takes a lot of different things to register with different people. Looks like Shrub has hit at least one in each catagory!

18. And no terra alerts since Karl Rove testified.

I hope they're not planning something like, well, all the other evil shit they've done whenever the naked emperor gets caught on tape.
