Iraq: Got To Admit It's Getting Better

A lot of positive reports have come out of Iraq in recent weeks, and pro-war GOP senators don't appear to be the only ones who think the situation there is improving.

A new Pew Research Center poll [PDF] gauging public attitudes toward the war shows an increasing number of Americans see Iraq turning a corner, both in terms of reducing violence and reaching political accord. In an open-ended question that asked respondents to describe Iraq, "improving" was the word that came up most frequently -- in stark contrast to "mess," the word that came up most frequently in a September poll.

See today's Poll Track (subscription) for analysis of Pew's latest results on Iraq.
