The Democrats are living in a dangerous pre 9-11 world. No wonder their approval rating is at an all time low (according to Gallup). Will the voters wake up in time and vote the Dems out of their leadership positions in Congress?
From Rasmusseen:
Nearly half of Americans (48%) now believe the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror, as opposed to 20% who give the nod to the terrorists, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national survey. These figures reflect a dramatic improvement from a year ago—in July 2007, only 36% thought the U.S. and its allies were winning. An equal number thought the terrorists held the advantage.
The 28-point difference is the most favorable margin recorded by Rasmussen Reports since tracking began in January 2004 and seems to reflect a growing confidence among adults that the tide is turning in Iraq and in the war on terror in general. The previous high was established on September 6, 2004 when 52% thought the U.S. and its allies were winning but 26% thought the terrorists were winning at that time for a 26-point favorable margin.
…
Almost half believe we are safer now than we were before 9-11. The Democrats still live in the 9-10-01 world.
45% now believe the United States is safer today than it was before the Sept. 11, 2001
do me a favor, whoever the author is, dont group people together……the whole Democrats living in pre 9/11 thing, it just looks bad and ignorant…..we all want whats best for America and just because we may disagree doesnt mean we should divide ourselves, because then in time we will leave ourselves weaker for the enemy to take advantage of us…..anyways, enough of the soapbox from me…..
i read the article and it says that an increasing number of Americans feel we are winning the war, but here are your numbers…..
September 6, 2004 when 52% thought the U.S. and its allies were winning
then………
Nearly half of Americans (48%) now believe the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror
it sounds like the opposite my friend….surely the number of people who thought the terrorists would win has gone down 6% since 2004 but the number of people who think we are winning has gone down too!
But if you were trying to make your point from july07 then yes, it has improved in one year….but as a whole its still gone down……
I myself dont agree or dissagree that we are winning the war, we are fighting against people who are so directionless that they follow anyone who has a vision, no matter how warped it is….but the fighting ground has been central in Iraq when in fact pakistan and afghanistan are their breeding grounds…..Thats why I backed Obama is because his focus was on these two places, that now the pentagon has said is rising in violence and has a number of growing factions there that are attacking us more and more…….
