The troops are returning the Bushoviks love
From the Charlotte Observer comes news of a new poll:
A majority of current and former military members surveyed this week in North Carolina disagree with how President Bush is handling the war in Iraq, according to a poll released Friday.Not good for Our Dear Embattled Leader.
More than 56 percent of military members surveyed in an Elon University poll said they disapprove or strongly disapprove with how the president is running the war.
Nearly 53 percent disapprove or strongly disapprove of Bush's overall job performance.
The results are startling because military members almost always overwhelmingly support wars and the president, said poll director Hunter Bacot.
"Members of military are mirroring the general public's" attitude toward the war, he said. "That is very telling."
North Carolina is home to bases for the Marines, Army and Air Force. Their troops have been deployed often in Iraq and Afghanistan.
