USA TODAY/Gallup Poll on Iraq

A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds that Americans are continuing to sour on President Bush's and the Senate's handling of Iraq.

There is majority support for congressional action on Iraq: 51% back a non-binding resolution, 57% a cap on troop levels and 63% a timetable to withdraw all U.S. troops by the end of 2008. However, 58% oppose denying funding for the additional troops.

The Senate's failure to act last week rankled nearly two-thirds of those surveyed. By 51%-19%, they blamed Republicans. In a party-line vote, Senate Republicans refused to cut off debate and let action proceed on a resolution opposing the troop increase.

Iraq will be the make or break issue for Republicans in Congress. The farther they distance themselves from President Bush's policies the better. All indications are the Republicans are going to stand steadfast with the White House.
