Seeing the Truth

On Friday, in discussing the allegedly BBC-generated anti-Bush "hysteria" in England, Andrew Sullivan expressed confidence in British levelheadedness:

But my native country isn't renowned for its common sense for nothing. I have faith that the majority will eventually see through the propaganda to the truth.
I wonder if this is what he meant (per Drudge):
The full extent of the low regard Britons have for George Bush was tonight revealed in a poll.

The US President was branded a threat to world peace by a clear majority, 60%, of those questioned by YouGov.

More than one in three, 37%, said Mr Bush was "stupid" while 33% called him "incoherent".

Only a minority saw positive characteristics in Mr Bush, with just 7% regarding him as a good world leader, 6% as articulate and 10% as intelligent.
. . .
There was little faith in the President's ability to handle the continuing problems in Iraq.

Fewer than a quarter, 24%, had confidence in Mr Bush on Iraq, while 74% did not.

If only we could similarly see through the propaganda to the truth here in America.

One caveat on this poll: I'm not familiar with YouGov's methodology. This was apparently an online survey, but it's supposedly drawn from "a representative sample of 1,934 adults." So consider that while assessing the findings.
