U.S. Opposition to Iraq War at All-Time High, Poll Shows - New York Times

U.S. Opposition to Iraq War at All-Time High, Poll Shows

Something the Democrats should have kept in mind:
A majority of Americans continue to support a timetable for withdrawal. Sixty-three percent say the United States should set a date for withdrawing troops from Iraq sometime in 2008.
That said, Americans have more faith in Democrats than republicans:
In general, more Americans now have a favorable view of the Democratic party (53 percent) than of the Republican party (38 percent). The Republican party has not had a majority positive rating in a New York Times/CBS News poll since December 2003.
And check this out:
Beyond the war issue, the poll found widespread concern over the nation’s overall direction. More Americans — 72 percent — now say that “generally, things in the country are seriously off on the wrong track” than at any time since the Times/CBS News poll began asking the question in 1983. The figure had been in the high 60’s earlier this year.
The highest ever (since 1983). Who is that 28%? What do they think is going on?

People want change, and they want it now! I know they say, "live in the present", but damn, Jan. 2009 can't come soon enough.
