not taking a shot at you, but i have some real clear questions about that site and its methodology. how do they average polls? of the polls they average, are the questions phrased in
precisely the same manner? are the questions in each poll in the same order? for example is question 'a' always followed by question 'b' and then question 'c'....or do some of the polls not even ask question 'b'? or ask them 'c', 'b', 'a'?

right now.
once AQ decides that it's time to resume operations on a large scale again, iraq will be back in the news. does anyone really think that they just went home and gave up? and frankly, it seems like they're starting to ramp things up already...how many bombs have gone off in the last two weeks? how many have been killed? clearly something is afoot.
and if between now and november either the sunnis and shiites decide it's time to have their inevitable civil war, i can assure you iraq will be back on the front page. and norton brings up a good point about relating the economy to out of control cost of fiasco in iraq. obama will certainly be talking about this in the summer. but i'm sure the white house will be throwing around even more money to try and make sure that doesn't happen.
