Poll: Democrats' Plans For Iraq Have Americans Worried

According to Reuters, Bush's approval rating is down to 31% and huge majorities approve of the priorities the Democrats have set for the legislature.

However, when it comes to Iraq--the majority of Americans are worried about what the Democrats might do.
While a bare majority of 51 percent called the Democrats' victory "a good thing," even more said they were concerned about some of the actions a Democratic Congress might take, including 78 percent who were somewhat or very concerned that it would seek too hasty a withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Another 69 percent said they were concerned that the new Congress would keep the administration "from doing what is necessary to combat terrorism," and two-thirds said they were concerned it would spend too much time investigating the administration and Republican scandals.

And you noticed the Reuters title:

Bush approval drops, Democrats' goals backed -poll

So the public backs the Democrats plans though they worry them.

That's because the Democrats did not run on a platform, they ran against the Republicans--which is why only %51 said that the Democrats victory was a "good thing"
