Bad News for the Democratic presidential strategy

Dean, Kerry, et. al. are critical of Bush for not getting more help from the UN in Iraq. This Gallup poll indicates that most Americans don't see the UN in a positive light and blame it more than Bush for the UN's failure to join us in Iraq.

A recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll finds a majority of Americans saying the United Nations' failure to support the Iraq invasion caused them to view the United Nations less favorably. In addition, 6 in 10 Americans now say the United Nations is doing a poor job of handling the problems it has had to face, the highest negative rating Gallup has measured on this item since 1953.
