cnn.com Iraq War Poll

How do you assess the progress of U.S.-led efforts in Iraq?

1. About what I expected
2. Behind schedule
3. Ahead of schedule

its on the main page.

Look at the Answers.

1. About what I expected. Intelligent persons can deducst that we expected Iraq to be a total disaster. Sheeple would say that minor setbacks along the way, we will eventually prevail. Both sides can select "about what I expected" which connotes a positive outcome.

2. What Schedule?
3. What Schedule?

1. I'm not sure what "About what I expected" means

typical CNN poll - trash journalism

all of the choices could be spun in a favorable light

'behind schedule' doesn't necessarily mean anything's really bad ... just behind schedule

over 160,000 respondents

How do you assess the progress of U.S.-led efforts in Iraq?

About what I expected 39% 61680 votes

Behind schedule 54% 86413 votes

Ahead of schedule 7% 11972 votes
Total: 160065 votes

3. Agreed

The results of online polls are meaningless in the first place. When the poll asks such vague and subjective questions, its even worse.
