Swing voters critical of Bush on Iraq

COLLEGE PARK, Md., July 29 (UPI) -- An analysis of recent polls indicates swing voters are considerably more critical of President Bush's handling of Iraq than the general population.

The surveys were conducted by Program on Internatioal Policy Attitudes/Knowledge Networks. The majority of those swing voters said Bush was misleading when he presented evidence to justify going to war and questioned the need of going to war.

Steven Kull, director of the Program on International Policy Attitudes of the University of Maryland said, "The president is in some trouble with swing voters."

Swing voters are defined as respondents who said they were extremely confident that they would vote in the upcoming election and identified themselves as independents.

The poll was conducted with a nationwide sample of 1,066 respondents July 11-20. The poll was fielded by Knowledge Networks using its nationwide panel, which is randomly selected from the entire U.S. adult population.
