ABC/Wash Post: 61% Reject Bush's Plan...CBS: 68% Uneasy About *'s Ability To Make Decisions
about Iraq

Two new polls show Americans' reaction to Bush's Wednesday evening speech, and the outlined plan for Iraq.

ABC/Washington Post:

Americans broadly reject President Bush's plan for a surge of U.S. forces into Iraq, with substantial majorities dismissing his arguments that it'll end the war more quickly and increase the odds of victory, an ABC News/Washington Post poll finds.

Indeed, rather than Bush bolstering public confidence, the national survey, conducted after his address to the nation on his new Iraq strategy, finds that a new high -- 57 percent -- think the United States is losing the war. Just 29 percent think it's winning.

Read entire article here.

CBS:

Fifty percent of those who saw the speech said they disapprove of the president's proposals, while 37 percent said they approve. Just one-third of those surveyed said they support Mr. Bush's call to send more than 20,000 additional troops to Iraq.

Following the speech, 68 percent of Americans -- the same number as prior to the speech -- said they were uneasy about the president's ability to make decisions about Iraq.

3. 68% think he's batshit crazy.
That's why they are uneasy. They are also being polite and it's no time for politeness.
