Polls and perception

Patrick McIlheran offers an analysis of some dueling polls about Iraq that just came out, while Dr. Sanity has some fun with a new anthem for the left:

WE'LL NEVER ADMIT IT'S GETTING BETTER

It's fun to get mad at the Prez
And trash everything that he says
He's holding us down, making us frown
We'd rather love Hugo Chavez!

We'll never admit it's getting better
Here at home or in Iraq
We'll never admit it's getting better
'Til we get the White House back.

We used to be happy, you see
But now we're the knights who say NIE
Iraq got to vote
But we really hope
That no one pretends they are free.

We'll never admit it's getting better
We stand for nothing and have no plan
We simply hate to admit it's getting better
And we hate that we lost and that now he's the boss
And we'll thwart him as much as we can.

We'll never admit it's getting better
Here at home or in Iraq
We'll never admit it's getting better
'Til we get the White House back.

...well, it would be fun if it didn't look like they're actually going to get away with it.
