POLLING UPDATE:
Not only did Ipsos-Reid/AP release GREAT poll results today (I provided a link to these results in an earlier post), so too did Annenberg:
12/17-21/03: 62% approve 36% disapprove (+26)
12/14-16/03: 64% approve 34% disapprove (+30)
12/09-13/03: 57% approve 40% disapprove (+14)
NOTE: The President's post-capture SPIKE has stayed within the margin of error! WHY: Support for the President by Independents has remained strong AND support from Republicans has remained virtually unanimous!!

Great numbers, although you would never know it if you listen to the naysayers on FR.
Did you see Geraldine Ferraro on Hannity .. they were talking about the American public's 67% approval of war - that it was the right thing to do.
She said .. "well .. that poll was taken right after Saddam was captured" and then I changed the channel.
However .. I seem to remember the approval for the war has always been over 60%. True ..??
