"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," USA TODAY Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page writes this afternoon.

• 47% said it is "certain" or "likely" the U.S. will "win" in Iraq, vs. 50% who said that before Bush's speech.

• Bush's overall "approval rating" stood at 34%, vs. 37% before the speech.
