GALLUP: Gen. Petraeus Viewed Favorably By Public
Report by the Left-leaning Editor and Pubisher:
Despite rising criticism from some quarters, Gen. David Petraeus
appears to command considerable respect from the average American, a new Gallup
poll reveals, boosting the chances that his much-publicized September report on
the "surge" will be treated as credible by most. The poll of 1,012 adults, taken
earlier this month, found that 47% give him a favorable rating, and only 21%
unfavorable. The rest had not heard of him or had no opinion.
The rising criticism is from desperate quarters who would do anything to sabotage America's war effort. I imagine the terrorists are highly critical of Petraeus tactics as well.
