2006 Elections & How the War Will Affect Them!

As most of us know there has been a lot of controversy about the war in Iraq, but will this controversy be an influence for the 2006 election? You bet it will! The Republican Party has lost a lot of support over the past couple years, most of which is due to the leadership during the War on Iraq (War on Terrorism), and is causing Americans to question our elected leaders. The war on terrorism was an agenda which was ignited by the 911 terrorist attacks in New York, but it seems that the focus has switched to wage war on Iraq. This agenda change along with the prolonging affect our soldiers have to endure with suicide bombings and now sniper attacks are really making Americans eager to elect new leaders to take control of this country. Below are some questions and results from different polls found on pollingreport.com.
