National Review Editor Spins Poll Numbers To Falsely Claim Americans
Oppose Troop Withdrawal

National Review editor Rich Lowry claims in his column yesterday that
the majority of Americans oppose withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq:

" Politically, Iraq is a loser for Republicans, except for the
bright spot that the American public is not yet ready to quit. A CNN
poll in August found that 69 percent of Americans oppose withdrawing
American troops by the end of the year, and 66 percent believe that we
can win the war there."

But Lowry is manipulating the poll numbers to prove his point. The CNN
poll from Aug. 2-3, to which Lowry is referring, found that just 34
percent of Americans oppose U.S. troop withdrawal. Sixty-one percent
support it. Of that 61 percent, twenty-six percent support full troop
withdrawal and another 35 percent support some redeployment:
