Another poll casting doubt on the entrenched Democratic wisdom

With another grateful hat-tip to Powerline, check out these poll results collected through "Public Opinion Strategies."

Public Opinion Strategies* has released a survey [PDF file here] of likely voters’ attitudes toward the Iraq War that finds that most voters think the country is going in the wrong direction (67%) and President Bush is doing a poor job (60%), and that Iraq will never be a stable democracy (60%). No real surprises there, right?

Here are some pretty interesting numbers, though, given those and other indications** that the survey isn’t biased toward President Bush:

• 57% believe “The Iraq War is a key part of the global war on terrorism.”
• 57% “support finishing the job in Iraq, that is, keeping the troops there until the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security for its people.
• 50% want our troops should stay and “do whatever it takes to restore order until the Iraqis can govern and provide security to their country” while only 17% favor immediate withdrawal
• 56% believe “Even if they have concerns about his war policies, Americans should stand behind the President in Iraq because we are at war.”
• 53% believe “The Democrats are going too far, too fast in pressing the President to withdraw the troops from Iraq.”

This poll is better than the previous one I linked in at least one respect. Once can look at the .pdf file to see the questionnaire.
How random the sample, I cannot say.
