Polls are opinion, not fact.

So says Jules Crittenden who offers some interesting poll numbers himself:

For example, the polls … and more importantly the headlines about polls … tell us that as many as 60 percent of Americans oppose sending more troops to Iraq. Only 35 percent support it. Those polls mirror the dissatisfaction with Bush himself.

Buried are poll results such as the one Fox News turned up last week. Toward the bottom of even Fox’s own report:“63 percent of Americans say they want the plan to succeed, including 79 percent of Republicans, 63 percent of independents and 51 percent of Democrats.” The percentage of people who think it might succeed, 49. The percent who think it probably won’t, 52.

C'mon Media, start giving us both sides of the story instead of your own overly-negative opinions. Find your long-lost patriotism and lets see this tough job through to the end. Then it will be an American victory and not "Bush's War".
