Or in other words, at least 10% really have no idea what they think? ;) I've lost track of the number of people who have a strong opinion one way or the other on Iraq, but when I question them further, they've done no research, read no articles, talked to no experts, and are basically just spouting whatever they heard from the last person they had a beer with.

(sigh)

] Similarly, the two most recent Gallup Polls have shown
] that about 50% of Americans believe that the U.S.
] involvement in Iraq was not a mistake. That is up from
] three polls in late June and early July when only about
] 45% thought that sending troops to Iraq was not a
] mistake, and the "mistake" number was up to 54%.

Personally, I tend to regard everything as still pretty evenly split. 45-55 or 52-48 still feels "dead even" to me. But of course as soon as any number tips to 50.00001%, one of the parties is going to crow "a majority of Americans believe (blah blah blah)".

Gawd, I hate election years.
