Iowa Republicans Favor a Withdrawl of U.S. Troops from Iraq

John Nichols writes an article that points out that in a recent poll Iowa Republicans are in favor of withdrawling U.S. troops from Iraq.

QUESTION: Do you favor a withdrawal of all United States military from Iraq within the next six months?ANSWER: Yes 52% No 39% Undecided 9%

No, those are not particularly shocking numbers.

We have known for a long time that Americans favor the rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

What is interesting about these numbers is who they come from.

The Strategic Vision polling group asked 600 likely Iowa caucus goers the question in a survey conducted March 30-April 1, 2007.

To be more precise, the survey queried 600 likely Republican caucus goers.

Nichols concludes...

Nothing the Congress is proposing is anywhere near as radical as the position now taken by grassroots Republicans in Iowa.
