Majority Supports A Date for Withdrawal

"Do you think the United States should or should not set a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq that would have MOST troops out by September 2008?"

------------------Should----------Should not---------Unsure
All ---------------- 59% ------------- 37% ------------- 4%
Republicans ------ 36% ------------- 63% ------------- 1%
Democrats -------- 77% ------------- 20% ------------- 3%
Independents ----- 59% ------------- 34% ------------- 7%

CBS News Poll. March 26-27, 2006. N=831 adults nationwide. MoE 4% (for all adults).

Also, the Senate passed a spending bill this morning that "orders Bush to begin withdrawing troops within 120 days of passage while setting a nonbinding goal of ending combat operations by March 31, 2008."

I want to add that I support the idea of a date for withdrawal. I think it is smart to keep our commitment from being open ended.

this poll may be vey straight foreward but most are questionable. I particiapated in a Zoggby poll last week and it was very leading in the order and the way the questions were asked.

I am not questioning the content of the post, I also believe that setting a date for withdrawal is the right choice....but N=831? Really? There has to be a more reliable poll that supports your claim? There has to be!

kyle,

you made the right decision on the post by one of your cohorts on tony snow.

but i have to ask, why do you continue to allow those idiots to post on your otherwise legitimate political website?

Anonymous 1, I agree that a sample size of 831 isn't very impressive. My understanding is that 1,200 is the number to hit. I'd bet that CBS pays a polling company to conduct a series of polls every month on a range of topics. If they can find one that is news worthy then they make the results public and CBS NEWS gets a name identification bump when their poll is repeated. I'd imagine it helps to add to the perception of gravitas of their news. A sample size of 831 is cheaper to conduct and only geeks like you and I notice the small sample size.

Anonymous 2, let me say that Bob, Chuck, and Terra are three of the sharpest people I know. The Tony Snow incident is a drop in a large bucket of quality, creative, smart, and funny writing Bob has contributed to this site. I'd take these three on my team any day of the week and I do with The Chief Source.

what about trimming down to three writers (Bob, You Chuck) and bringing in a weekly guets writer on a variety of topics, you can solicit pieces from pattakos, congeni Isig, Esig,Darwal any number of people who have interesting viewpoints-That MEncken Guy, Jillmiller zimon, import editorials from news sources, get frederick to post an op-ed piece. Plus issue challenges to various posters who comment alot with critiscm allow them to put the shoe on the other foot. Keep up the good work

"It is not accurate to say that the United States is occupying Iraq," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Or... It is not accurate to say that we're having sex, she's just keeping my Jimmy warm.
