NY Times poll found majority favors withdrawal plan resembling Democrats' -- but Vieira didn't report that

SUMMARY: NBC's Meredith Vieira told viewers that a New York Times/CBS News poll found that "76 percent of Americans say they'd only withdraw some troops, keeping enough to train Iraqis and fight Al Qaeda or they would keep the same number of troops in Iraq until the country is stabilized." But Vieira did not report that the same poll question found that 78 percent of respondents favor either withdrawing all troops from Iraq (22 percent) or leaving troops "to train Iraqi forces, conduct raids against terrorist groups and protect American diplomats" (56 percent), a position resembling proposals by leading Democrats.
