61% want to see all U.S. troops withdrawn from Iraq within a year. [USA Today/Gallop, March 2-4]
60% side with Democrats in Congress on the plan to change course in Iraq. [CNN/Opinion Research Corp, April 10-12]
59% want their representative in Congress to vote to bring troops home by August 2008. [Pew Research, March 21-25]
