Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- A majority of U.S. adults say President George W. Bush has deliberately misled the public about progress in Iraq and opposition to the war matches an all- time high, according to a poll conducted for CNN.

The poll, released today, coincided with publication of the book ``State of Denial'' by Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, which says Bush ignored warnings from military officials about the growing Iraq insurgency and made claims of success that conflicted with intelligence assessments.

In the Sept. 29-Oct. 2 poll, 58 percent said the administration misled the public about how the war is going. In addition, 57 percent said the conflict has made the U.S. less safe from terrorism, indicating that Bush's central argument in defense of his policy isn't gaining traction with voters.

``The decisions that I have made have made this country safer,'' the president said today during an appearance at a political fund-raiser in Stockton, California. Democrats counter that the Iraq conflict has distracted efforts to hunt down terrorists and -- bolstered by a recently declassified intelligence report -- that the war is fueling Muslim extremism.

Wonder what their October surprise is......? And now that it is becoming more obvious to many Republicans that their emperor in chief is a liar anything that they do will be suspect...

I never trust polls.

there is no support to be found for Bush's continued occupation. This is the one issue that galvanizes opposition to Bush and his republican enablers.
