Bush Iraq plan fails to rally support:USA Today/Gallup Poll

[cal04]

President Bush's address to the nation last week outlining a "new way forward" in Iraq failed to move public opinion in support of his plan to increase U.S. troop levels and left Americans more pessimistic about the likely outcome of the war.

In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday, more than 6 of 10 back the idea of a non-binding congressional resolution expressing opposition to Bush's plan to commit an additional 21,500 U.S. troops to Iraq.

However, those surveyed are split, 47%-50%, over the prospect of congressional action that would deny funding for the additional troops.

The telephone poll of 1,003 adults has a margin of error of +/—3 percentage points. The results were compared with a survey taken before the speech, on Jan. 5-7, of a similar sample.
