From the front page of washingtonpost.com tonight, this pull quote:

A Nation Divided Over Security Issues

The upcoming midterm election and 2008 presidential race are likely to hinge on protecting the country from terrorists.

From the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll:

4. What will be the single most important issue in your vote for Congress this year: (the U.S campaign against terrorism), (the war in Iraq), (the economy), (immigration), (gas prices), (health care) or something else?
6/25/06
Terrorism 8
Iraq       24
Economy 23
Immigration     13
Gas prices     9
Health care    14
Education    1
All of them     1
Other      4
No opinion       2

A nation divided on security? How Americans rate Bush's performance on Iraq and Iran in the same WaPo/ABC News poll:

2. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Bush is handling (ITEM)?
6/25/06 - Summary Table*
Approve Disapprove No op.
a. The situation in Iraq 37 62 *
d. The situation with Iran 41 57 2

A nation divided? On security? Not so much. United in opposition to Bush, it looks like to me.
