Data are about a week old but new press release ->

Some Views on Iraq Have Not Changed, but Confidence in Future of Iraq Falls to New Low Among U.S. Adults, According to Latest Harris Poll

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Harris Polls have measured many different attitudes to, beliefs about, expectations for, and perceptions of Iraq, the use of U.S. troops and the insurgency. We have asked about the origins of the war, alleged links to Al Qaeda, weapons of mass destruction, intelligence, and the decision made by President Bush to invade Iraq. We have asked about how things are going for American troops and for the Iraqis. This new Harris Poll revisits a few of these issues and measures changes -- or the
lack of change -- since the same questions were asked three months ago.

The one substantial change since August is a decline in confidence that "Iraq will be successful in developing a democratic and reasonably stable government." Three months ago, 40 percent of U.S. adults were confident that this would happen. Now only 32 percent are confident that this will happen. This is important for several reasons, including the claims that the invasion would help to bring democracy to Iraq, and that this would spread to othercountries in the Middle East.

This decline in confidence may, however, be less surprising -- given ongoing events in Iraq -- than the stability, or lack of change, in public opinion on some other key issues.

These are the results of a nationwide telephone poll of 1,011 U.S. adultssurveyed by Harris Interactive(R) between November 8 and 13, 2005.

Some minds are welded shut.

Bob Scheiffer has some piece about a supposed spokesman for the "insurgency" saying that they may be willing to talk. Would his name be "Curveball?" I noticed that Jim Lehrer passed on this story.
