Pew Research Poll reports U.S. public opinion on military progress in Iraq has improved “sharply” since the start of the surge in February.
Military effort is going very/fairly well:
FEB 2007: 30%
NOV 2007: 48%FEB 2007: 30%
Military is defeating the insurgents:
FEB 2007: 30%
NOV 2007: 43%
Public opinion has improved across party lines:
Republicans: 51% said things were going well in FEB 2007. The percentage is 74% in NOV 2007.
Democrats: expressing a positive view of the Iraq effort has doubled since February (from 16% to 33%).
Independents: went from 26% positive view of Iraq in FEB 2007 to a 41% in NOV 2007.
This doesn't reflect the significance and quantity of the progress in Iraq, but maybe Americans are catching on a little.
