I'm curious if the numbers will rise after the POW footage.

My comment is not directed at you, but all the networks doing daily polling. Who cares? Why does it matter, do we really need constant monitoring of opinion during the many routine ups and downs of war? Its like polling every 5 during an operation or dental filling. So if someone gets doubts when the drilling of teeth starts to hurt, should it then be stopped, ever left to fester, infect, and rot?

What's wonderful about this is that he's doing this in spite of opposition both here and abroad, and in spite of sinking poll numbers.

Our Commander in Chief has taken this action because he swore an oath to defend the Constitution, to protect the American people, and to do what is right.

I thank the Lord for him every day.

Don't worry, the liberal media will do their best to get these support numbers down. ;) After 5 DAYS, the war is already a "Viet Nam-like quagmire." Peter Jennings looked as if he were going to a funeral for the first, successful heady days of US power. I should expect him to be much perked up tonight, in light of our POWs and US casualties.

I saw a poll that showed support for Pres Bush by party:

Republicans 93%
Democrats 50%

will the Demonrat party faithful ever support Pres Bush?

[Redcloak]

72% of Americans Favor War; Bush approval rating 71%

Tom Daschle is deeply saddened.

I expect a drop. People go wobbly when things don't go perfectly in a plan.

[rwfromkansas]

probably the opposite.....people get weak when they see our troops captured. I expect support will drop if things get rough, but once we get control of Baghdad, support will rise again.

This must be killing Daschle.
After he blamed the war on Bush's failing "miserably"... Bush's approval numbers go up and support for the war goes up.

Poor Tommy.

"72% of Americans Favor War; Bush approval rating 71%"

Is the 1% gap the only honest democrats left? The ones who will say they are against President Bush but feel that we are right in Iraq? The ones who don't use the war as a cover for their seething hatred of the President?

I heard on the radio today that the anti-war protests were the smallest they've seen in a while. Maybe the POWs are having an effect or they are just tire from this weekend's protests.
