Shame it took mutilation to get peoples attention.
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=politicsNews&storyID=4755365§ion=newsWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Support among Americans for President Bush's handling of the Iraq war has fallen to 40 percent after last week's mutilation killings of U.S. contractors, according to a new poll issued on Monday.
The president's overall job approval and other ratings were also at or near record lows.
The Pew Research Center survey of 790 adults taken April 1-4 showed that confidence in Bush's handling of the Iraq situation had fallen 19 points since mid-January and was at its lowest ebb since researchers first asked the question in October 2002.
The poll was taken after last Wednesday's heavily-publicized murder and mutilation of four U.S. contractors in Falluja, Iraq, which promoted new questions about the U.S.-led occupation. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.
