Check out these USAToday poll results:
Q: Just your best guess, why do you think President Bush is asking Congress at this time to support military action against Iraq - mainly because he believes prompt military action is necessary to protect the U.S. from terrorism or mainly because it might help the Republicans in this year's Congressional elections?
A: 68% Necessary to protect US; 26% Help the Republicans
Q: Just your best guess, why do you think some Democrats in Congress are reluctant to have a vote on military action against Iraq before the November elections - mainly because they want more evidence from the Bush administration that prompt military action is necessary or mainly because a vote before this year's Congressional election might hurt the Democrats?
A: 35% Want more evidence from the Administration; 59% Might hurt Democrats in Elections
Watch as the Democrats fall all over themselves in reaction to this poll. Daschle has already come out and said they'll vote before the election.
Had to go almost to the end of the poll to find those responses, eh? Most show limited and declining support for Bush and the belief that Saddam and terrorism are a real and imminent threat.
