Gallup: 2 Out of 3 Americans Want U.S. Pull Out from Iraq By E&P Staff Published: March 02, 2006 6:30 PM ET NEW YORK While newspaper editorials remain virtually silent on the subject, the American public seems to have made up its mind. A new Gallup/CNN/USA Today poll out tonight shows that 2 out of 3 adult Americans now want U.S. troops to start to come home from Iraq. And 55% call the decision to attack Iraq in 2003 a "mistake." The same poll found President Bush's approval rating plunging to 38%. It was even lower in a CBS poll earlier this week: 34%. In the poll, 38% said some troops should be withdrawn from Iraq now with another 27% say they all should come home. Bush's handling of Iraq drew the support of just 35%, while 64 percent said they disapprove. Of the 1,020 adults surveyed, 59% said President Bush can no longer manage the government effectively.
