Two new polls out today, from The Post-ABC News and Pew, confirm that the proposed strike on Syria remains quite unpopular. I won’t say to Ignore These Polls!, as I often do, but I would advise everyone to treat them with extreme caution.
What we’re getting here are initial reactions by people to an extremely confused situation. Those who are just tuning in to the discussion — which means most people — are not getting clear opinion leader signals, since both Democratic and Republican elites are split. [cont.]
