Fail Miserably and Watch Your Polls Rise
Would someone please explain this to me:
British Prime Minister Tony Blair's rating as a leader has soared since the London bombings, even though a big majority of voters believes his decision to go to war in Iraq has increased the risk of terrorist attacks at home.
In a Populus poll for The Times, taken at the weekend after Thursday's second wave of abortive attacks, Mr Blair's leader rating is his second-highest yet, while almost a third of all voters believe he should reconsider his decision to stand down as Prime Minister before the next election.
Hello? How stupid can people be? Blair's policies are the cause of the bombings, as most Brits understand (according to this poll), and his government failed to protect its citizens from the terrorists (twice!), but his rating has "soared" since the bombings? Unbelieveable.
