Attention, Congressional Dems: The public has your back. A new poll finds that a solid majority of Americans supports Congressional legislation that would require the withdrawal of the troops from Iraq by the fall of 2008 -- precisely the withdrawal deadline mandated in legislation authored by House Dems that is expected to go to a vote this coming week.

The new Newsweek poll asks respondents if they "favor or oppose Congressional legislation that would require the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq by the fall of 2008." The answer: 59% favor it, while only 34% -- barely more than a third -- oppose it. Meanwhile, the poll also finds President Bush's approval rating mired at all of 30%, roughly where it's been since late last year.
