I’m sure we will be bombarded in the next few days with the new “poll” being whored by the Republicans that says more Americans support the war in Iraq than do not suppor it. Yes, they’ll say and do anything to justify their war. Things are going swimmingly in Iraq and our ecomony is in great shape.

Conservatives are out there in full force trumpeting a poll that appeared on the front page of today’s New York Post allegedly showing that there’s much more support for the Iraq war than anybody thought.

The poll — which was done by the big GOP firm Public Opinion Strategies and ran under the glaring headline “America Says Lets Win War” — is being promoted heavily by wingnut talk show hosts, bloggers and others. They are aggressively using it to pump up GOP morale and to undermine Dems’ resolve in advance of a showdown between Congress and the White House. Rush Limbaugh said that it’s going to “shock the Democrats,” while PowerlineBlog’s Paul Mirengoff sagely observed that it shows that “the Democrats’ defeatist approach to Iraq may not be a winning political strategy.” Some liberal bloggers have already started to debunk the poll — don’t miss Steve Benen’s skillful skewering of the survey right here.
