I'm not sure what this means...

But I think it's significant. From analysis of the latest CBS opinion poll:

In a recent television interview, Bush called himself a “war President,” willing to make the tough decisions that role requires -- a role that he has been placed in by world events. But in this poll, most Americans say that Bush has chosen to become a war President, rather than having been forced to become one. 51 percent say the choices Bush makes have caused him to be a war President, while 40 percent say Bush is a war president because world events have forced him into that role.

Democrats and Republicans disagree as to the reason Bush is a war president. 73 percent of Democrats say Bush is a war president because of the choices he makes, while 68 percent of Republicans think world events have forced him to be one. Also, women are more likely than men to say Bush’s own choices have made him a war president.

Oh and here's something else of interest:

Of those who think the Bush administration exaggerated intelligence to build support for the war, 34 percent say Bush has more honesty and integrity than most people in public life, but three-quarters of those who think the administration interpreted pre-war intelligence accurately say Bush has more honesty and integrity than others in public life. Overall, 50 percent of Americans now say Bush has more honesty and integrity than most people in public life, while a quarter says he has the same amount and 14 percent think he has less.

Besides the fact that I'm proudly in the 14 percent, I think that as the truth about intelligence "stovepiping" starts to get more press (the Senate Intelligence Committee is now investigating this), the more people will believe the intelligence was hyped, and the less people will think of Bush's honesty.

Maybe. Who knows? November feels years away...but good news is good news.
