Roughly Half Of Americans Favor War With Iran

whatever, i dont believe that.

They have GOT to be kidding!

Let those who 'favor' it - go fight it!

Let's start keeping a better watch on our 'glass house'

thanks for sharing

I dont buy it, no way half support a war with iran, its just not possible.. its a load of B.S.

Which half. AFAIK both halves of me are against it.

Gee Ron, I had a similar story about a Zogby Poll that showed essentially the same thing.

Zogby Poll -Majority of American Voters Back Military Action Against Iran

Nippy and TA; you guys (and the Democrats) are out of step with most of America. Keep it up and Republicans will keep the WHite House and probably take back Congress.

The USA Today poll was an even split. A lot more people favored going to war with Iraq before we did it than do now.

Please don't mistake me for a Democrat. They're a bunch of right wingers.

Nope... i dont buy into those polls... i havent met one single person here who support the iraq war, i havent met one person here who likes bush and this administration and i havent met one person here who wants a war with iran... where are these 'half of americans' at exactly? Show me.....

The polls are run by the people who want you to believe what ever they are selling..

Poll results are tricky to interpret. One thing you need to know is the exact wording of the questions.

You're just running with the wrong (i.e. Left) crowd TA. You should really try to broaden your horizons.

vickie; neither Zogby nor Gallup are going to rig a poll to take any side. That would kill the credibility. They're reporting what the scientifically proven survey methods are finding.

Liberals had better come to the realization that they are outside the mainstream on this question.

Go look at the polls, Nippy. They tell you what they asked.

The USA Today article didn't quote the question verbatim, it paraphrased it.

It was at the bottom of the story that I read.

"Let those who 'favor' it - go fight it! "

They usually do. You should be happy that we have an all volunteer military. One which is filled with people who keep this county safe and are willing to serve for those who who want to be safe but are not willing to do anything to keep it that way.

I called my friends on this. I do not want war with Iran and either do they.

What a load.

Bravo, Chris!

David, you're right. I didn't scroll down far enough.

I see that in response to the question "How concerned are you that the U.S. will be too quick to use military force in an attempt to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons?" 76% of the responders were either somewhat or very concerned.

In response to the question: "What do you think the United States should do to get Iran to shut down its nuclear program?" 73% favored a diplomatic solution if possible.

In response to the question: "How concerned are you that the U.S. will not do enough to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons?" 73% were somewhat or very concerned.

These are fascinating results. More than 2/3 of the responders thought that a diplomatic solution would be best and thought the government would be too quick to take the military option. Roughly the same percentage thought the US wasn't going to do enough. Umm...I can see several different ways to interpret this. Everything except "people are confused" would be spin.

And what percentage of Americans believe in the Rapture? At least 30%.

That makes attacking Iran a smart idea?

From the above essay,

"A 2002 Time/CNN poll found that 59 percent of Americans believe that the prophecies found in the Book of Revelations are going to come true." Jeez, about 50% of the voting public voted for Dubya.

Thanks for your comment, Nippy.
