Your characterization of Tchocky I find absurd, for what he said about the majority in congress and the voters having created it - simply is the truth.
Your own conclusion on how many americans want no troop withdrawel now is not exactly formulated, for thi poll did not ask if people nt a troop reduction, but if they think a troop reduction would influence the risk level of the mission as it is ("does a tiome table help or hurt troops serving?" = 50% hurts, 27% helps, 15% no effect).
And even if your interpretation of that polling option would have been right (I don'T think so), then it would collideng with the other options the poll asked for: 55-65% in 2007 and 2006 disapproive the way Bush is handling the war,
36% think the boost in troops and Bush's attempt of a slightly changed plan during the last months made things worse, 37% think it made no difference (that is almost 3/4 of people thinking that things did not imporve, or turned worse)
a relative majority of 48% think that Bush should sign a funding that is linked to a date for withdrawal (43% disagree, 9% said nothing),
And in case that Bush vetoes the democrat's bill, a slight majority of 45% say that congress then should block any funding, while 43% say that funding the troops may be more important then instead of enforcing a release date at all cost (12% unsure).
A president whose course is supported by the people would show different values, I guess.

Again - you missed the point. It is not about GWB that I am talking about.
Also - don't use leftist news medias for your polls. I hate those things. Same people said Gore would win and Kerry would win for president. Conservatives are very unlikely to ever use one from CNN for example. You need a national poll to take the numbers from where they call randomly. I avoid ever posting poll information from one of the news websites.
ANyway, my poll shows (Or should I say - suggests) how this pullout is not what people want. It is a Nationwide survey - not a website go there and show your opinion type place. A Nationwide survey is the only way to get any accurate numbers.
