Americans believe . . . Rebates Good, Iraq Pullout Better


WASHINGTON -- Rebate checks would be nice, but most Americans think the best way to help the country's economy is to pull out of Iraq, according to a new AP-Ipsos poll.

The survey found that 48 percent of those questioned said pulling out would help "a great deal," and 20 percent said it would help somewhat.

The heck with Congress' big stimulus bill. The way to get the country out of recession -- and most people think we're in one -- is to get the country out of Iraq, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll.

The subject of leaving Iraq shows a sharp partisan divide -- 65 percent of Democrats think it would help the economy a lot, but only 18 percent of Republicans think so.
