Voters want troops out of Iraq

http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1110745.html?menu=

The overwhelming majority of voters want Tony Blair to start preparing British troops to pull out from Iraq, according to a new opinion poll.

An ICM poll for The Guardian found 71% wanted the Prime Minister to set a date for the troops to leave.

That contrasted with the findings of a similar ICM/Guardian poll in May when 45% said that they believed the troops should remain in Iraq "for as long as necessary".

The poll showed that public opinion over the Iraq war remained divided, with 45% saying it was unjustified as against 40% who said it was justified.

1. Comparable US numbers?

It's unfair to compare brainwashing subjects of the US corporate media to Europeans, but does anyone know what the latest poll data here says? Have any pollsters even surveyed about withdrawal?

2. Polls reveal

Republicans favor sending Democrats' sons and daughters to Iraq--forever.
