#1 Despite a year of ferocious combat, mounting casualties and frequent deployments, support for the war in Iraq remains very high among the active-duty military, according to a Military Times Poll.
Sixty-three percent of respondents approve of the way President Bush is handling the war, and 60% remain convinced it is a war worth fighting. Support for the war is even greater among those who have served longest in the combat zone: Two-thirds of combat vets say the war is worth fighting.

But the men and women in uniform are under no illusions about how long they will be fighting in Iraq; nearly half say they expect to be there more than five years.

In addition, 87%% say they're satisfied with their jobs and, if given the choice today, only 25% say they'd leave the service.
Compared with last year, the percentages for support for the war and job satisfaction remain essentially unchanged.

the MSM won't understand this at all:
"Why don't you people listen? Quagmire, quagmire, quagmire!"

#2 I thought we had the ONLY poll that mattered on November 2? Wasn't a week after that, when a poll claimed that MOST americans think the country is going the WRONG way. Now if MOST people think the country is on the WRONG track wouldn't that showed in the polls? Or are the majority of unhappy also not registered to vote? We need less polling and more work!
