Sure, but also as much as it may make you feel old, those polls were of people over 18 in 2003, and about half of the current US population does not fit that bill.
The effect is even more dramatic when you presume polls always skew older.
- sokoloff 3y agoDo you presume that most of the unpolled 17 year olds in 2003 were against it? Most of the unpolled 16 year olds? Even if they weren't polled, it's not reasonable to assume that 0% of them would have supported the various responses.
- RC_ITR 3y agoI know many of the unpolled 1 year olds who are now 24 probably never thought the war was a good idea. My point is that America in 2003 feels the same to people who were alive then, but blaming Americans alive today for Iraq is like blaming Americans alive in 2003 for being pro-Grenada.
