Public: Candidates' Positions on Iraq Very Important to '08 Vote
Gallup's Pulse of Democracy
http://www.galluppoll.com/content/?ci=27829Americans say they would be more likely to vote for a presidential candidate who insists on a timetable for removing U.S. troops from Iraq, and less likely to vote for a candidate who wants to cut off funding for the war. More than 7 in 10 Americans say a candidate's position on the Iraq war will be extremely or very important to their vote next year.
Gallup's Pulse of Democracy
http://www.galluppoll.com/content/default.aspx?ci=17785Current political conditions in the United States favor the Democrats. The public is highly dissatisfied with the way George W. Bush is doing his job as president, in large part because of the war in Iraq. As a result, Americans rate the Democratic Party significantly more favorably than the Republican Party, and Democrats hold a large 52% to 40% lead (as of the first quarter, 2007) in the party identification or leanings of the general population.
