Breakdown of WP poll on Approval/Disapproval of Bush's Iraq Policy

[BurtWorm]

is fascinating--and a little sickening in some instances. Check out the gender difference: women disapprove 60%-39%; men disapprove 50%-49%. Blacks disapprove 85%-12%; whites APPROVE 50%-48%! The only age group in which a majority approves (53%-47%) is 31-44 year-olds ( :wtf: ).

1. Many people become hawkish once they age out of the draft

go figure.

2. That's that whole Gen X group.

The ones who came of age under Reagan.

3. Then they should look at the new draft proposals: Up to 50 or something...

anyone got the correct stat for that?

4. they didn't ask me!

I'm in the 31 - 44 group and I can tell ya I definitely do NOT approve...
