This poll came out on Sept 10th in the NYT
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/10/washington/10poll.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

under a headline saying "Americans Feel Military Is Best at Ending the War". Buried in the very long article was the statement that only 5% said they most trusted the Bush administration to resolve the war.

1. I think 95% distrust him period.

[harun]

4. His true constituency is the top 1/2 of 1 percenters (in terms of wealth)

By the time he leaves office I think everyone will have figured that out, not that he cares.

[indepat]

37. Junior doesn't give a diddle-dy-fu*k what 95% of us think: the decider decides all and there is

little that can be done when the spineless supine Congress refuses to do its constitutional duty, the MSM still shill, and millions still rapturously support.

[BOSSHOG]

2. The 5% are a loud, whiny bunch of sumbitches

[cobalt1999]

3. 5% still trust him?

I'd like their names because I've got a bridge in Minnesota to sell them. Needs some minor repairs, but good price.

[Deep13]

25. Jesus, that's still 15 million people.

Hmmm, we have bridges in Ohio too.

[beberocks]

5. From the way they vote, that 5% is in the US Congress

Why don't the Dems get a clue and stand up to little lord Pissypants?

[yardwork]

28. That's it! The missing 5% are Congress!

[Jax]

29. Yep. You nailed it beberocks.

We call them the b*sh Democrats in our house. Past time for a spine transplant and STAND UP.

31. Touché - and there's more than a gaggle here in West Texas

that love junior and his dick.

[spiderpig]

6. And the other 5% represent the boxed rock contingent?

:shrug:

[partylessinOhio]

7. Pelosi is in that 5%.

[CGowen]

12. Pelosi is in the 21%

Only 5 percent of Americans — a strikingly low number for a sitting president’s handling of such a dominant issue — said they most trusted the Bush administration to resolve the war, the poll found. Asked to choose among the administration, Congress and military commanders, 21 percent said they would most trust Congress and 68 percent expressed most trust in military commanders.

8. Don't worry, Pelosi is working on reversing those numbers for Bush -- !!!

[Kolesar]

14. Oh, really? ... eom

[defendandprotect]

47. Is Pelosi not working with Bush . . .. aiding him?

[orleans]

9. damn! that liberal media is gonna fucking kill us.

hey nytimes & cbs: THANKS FOR MAKING THIS POLL SO NEWSWORTHY
(dumping it in the middle of an article! assholes!)

[Amonester]

43. But... but... but... please understand ....

that... that... that... their bosses own some stocks in the MIC-BIGOIL bidne$$...

It's obvious they don't wanna lose their jobs at trying to hide all the AWOL * bad news.

[Doctor_J]

10. I know some of the 5%

Some of their rationale is so twisted you'd think they are from outer space. At some point in the future conservatism (or Republicanism) will be in the Psych texts as a mental illness.

[Pawel K]

11. And yet 95% of democrats in congress support him. nt

[defendandprotect]

48. YES!!!! That's the stuff we need to look at and react to --

[Nimrod2005]

13. Funny, yet the Dems in Congress let him get away with every single move!!!

[defendandprotect]

49. And, aren't we letting the Dems get away with it -- ??????

[onehandle]

15. "Iranian Press TV" is framing that poll for their own purposes.

The poll question is actually "If had to choose, whom would you say you trust the most with successfully resolving the war in Iraq."
Congress 20%, No One 3%, Military Commanders 68%, The Bush Administration 5%

That doesn't mean that 95% mistrust Bush about Iraq. If they were asked, "Do you trust Bush about Iraq", I doubt it would be nearly that high.

[Robbien]

20. You are complaining about their slant?

When each and every headline in the US is deliberately slanted to protect the Cheney/Bush admin?

Their slant just helps to offset the absurd slant we have in the US.

Note that each poll question results in this year's poll is drastically worse than last year's for Cheney/Bush. Does the article even mention that? 'Course not.

[onehandle]

35. It's a propaganda site citing a poll from nearly a month ago.

It's not LBN.

[Robbien]

41. It is a legitimate news site. A well respected one outside of the US

From their site:

Press TV is the first international Iran-based news network to broadcast in English on a round-the-clock schedule.

Our Tehran-based headquarters is staffed by media professionals from around the world. Press TV has an extensive network of bureaus located in the world’s most strategic places.

Of course it is not owned and operated by the Murdoch's of the world so it doesn't have the usual right wing bias.

Everyone knows Cheney/Bush is directing the attack on Iraq. In this poll 95% of the respondents rejected the current Cheney/Bush leadership and picked someone else to redirect our attack activities. If the headline is biased, it is only slightly stretching the truth.

[shireen]

23. you're too subtle for me. nt

[paparush]

16. What about IRAN? The neocons are reading from the same damn playbook..

that they used for Iraq, but I bet plenty of 'Murkins are just scared to death of Iran and their nukular aresenal, and their represive regime, and how the Iranian people want freedom.

blech...

[ooglymoogly]

24. perhaps that should read "from the same pay book"

[ooglymoogly]

27. self delete wrong place.

[slick8790]

17. Are they sure this poll doesn't have a 5% MOE?

:)

[olddad56]

18. Trust him on Iraq. I can't believe that anyone trusts him on anything.

His one wife can't trust him not to bang Condi.

[LiberalLovinLug]

39. alas a love story never to be

Dubya will never be able to "practice his love" with Condi. Dicks got him locked up, and he don't get the key to his chastity belt unless the Dark One says so.

[graywarrior]

19. And yet, the little fucker still holds all the marbles.

[lebkuchen]

22. The RW Biblewhackers on military bases are denouncing Bush

They've had it with Bush, and they are his jockstrap. He'll feel their pinch soon enough.

[shireen]

21. big f*ckin' deal ...

he doesn't care what anyone thinks. Remember, he answers to a higher power, channeled thru Dick,
His popularity could sink below zero, and it won't make any difference.

[liberal N proud]

26. But impeachment is still off the table -

What would it take to place impeachment on the table?

:nuke:

[olddad56]

34. Impeachment would take too long, wait until he is out, then arrest his ass.

[ooglymoogly]

36. but meanwhile back on earth we risk marshal law at the drop of

a hat...or bomb.

[liberal N proud]

42. That is what I expect before his term would be finished

Lord Cheney would set plan in motion for terror attack at home followed by martial law.

[ooglymoogly]

30. Is that one o' them +or- 5% ers

Its becoming like the old story of the camel ferrying the scorpion across the Suez. The 5%ers representing the scorpion and Hr. Shitler representing the camel...and it can't be too soon.

[ooglymoogly]

32. Betcha those 5% have definitely removed impeachment from the table.

[ejbr]

33. Let me guess

the 5% either work or related to someone who works at Halliburton, Blackwater or Exxon, right?

[RiverStone]

38. There is a 95% chance I'll kick this....

Naw, make it a 100% chance! :)

Have we ever had such a dim-wit for a Pres????

[YOY]

40. What a source!

29% I can almost believe. 5%...no...too many Fundies and FReeps here.

[burythehatchet]

44. In other news, 5% of AMericans regularly eat lead based paint n/t

[leftofthedial]

45. obviously 5% of Murkans are liars

not even his political allies trust him

[Uncle Joe]

46. That seems a bit generous to me, what the hell is wrong with the other 5%!? n/t

[liberalla]

50. That did get buried, didn't it? I hope these same 95% see Iran in

the same light!

[raccoon]

51. Sounds like some people got their heads out of their posteriors! nt
