It sounds like the American people have simply lost confidence in government... If you don't actually look at the survey data! In reality, the survey asks: "Still thinking about Iraq, how much do you trust each of the following to recommend the right thing for the U.S. to do in Iraq – a great deal, a fair amount, not much, or not at all?"... Most predict the administration won't implement the bipartisan commission's proposals, however. And fewer than 1 in 5 have "a great deal" of trust in Bush to "recommend the right thing" for the United States to do in Iraq.
Confidence in Democratic congressional leaders to chart the proper course is even lower, at 14%. ...
True enough, 18% said they had a great deal of trust in 'President George W. Bush' and only 14% had a great deal of trust in 'The Democratic leaders in Congress'.
But when you look at who had a Fair amount of trust, 28% said 'President George W. Bush' while 28% trusted Bush "not at all".
By contrast there were 44% who said they had a fair amount of trust that 'The Democratic leaders in Congress' would recommend the right thing for the U.S. to do in Iraq.
