From USAToday.com:

A new poll shows that a strong majority of Americans oppose an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops. The AP-Ipsos poll found 57% of those surveyed said the U.S. military should stay until Iraq is stabilized.

President Bush’s poll numbers have been steadily rising as he’s taken the Iraq war to the bully-pulpit. He will be speaking to the American people from the Oval Office tonight at 9 PM. I’m confident that more citizens will realize that Iraq is a new democracy we cannot abandon.
