More "Disconnect"

The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, here, buttresses my point about the disconnect between the publics feelings about the Republicans in general and John McCain, with the poll showing a statistical tie in preferences for McCain's and Obama's plans for Iraq.

Previous polls showed a preference for withdrawal from Iraq sooner rather than later, a position closer to Obama's stated goal.

I think people are really confused about Iraq. They don't want to leave precipitously if there is a chance that we are on the right road. They don't want to stay if we are in a no win situation. And they don't believe any of the information that both parties are feeding them.

Still, after five years of combat and 4,000 deaths in Iraq, this poll spells trouble for Obama.
