>new poll conducted Nov. 17-20 indicates most Americans are
sympathetic to Cheney's point. Seventy percent of people said that criticism of the war by Democratic senators hurts troop morale - with 44 percent saying morale is hurt "a lot," according to a poll taken by RT Strategies.

The Post claims this is a "non-partisan" poll because it is jointly conducted by a Democrat and Republican; but that would not prevent a pro-war bias - for that matter would not neccesarily prevent an anti-Democratic bias. The ovewhelming results smell wrong to me. 70% of USAians think that criticism of the war effort "hurts the troops"?

Who is RT Strategies, and who is paying for the poll?
