taking-a-pulse poll please: Without doing research, if asked for an assessment of the 2007 Iraq War surge, who would you say approves/dis of it now?

"who" as in political demographics - republicans, democrats, the public etc.

Or in other words, from Wikipedia:
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll conducted September 1–2, 2010 revisited this question "As you may know, the US. sent 20,000 combat troops to Iraq in 2007 in what was called a surge. Based on what you have read or heard, do you think that surge of U.S. troops to Iraq was a success or a failure?""

Responses:

20k more, and those were just the uniformed forces, DOD 'contractors' possible equaled the numbers of 100k armed forces - z Nov 17, 19:42
Are you asking if I think it was a success or if I think others feel it was a success? -- nm - David Nov 17, 19:39 4
- who do you think would call it a success and who do you think would call it a failure. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 19:44 3
  - I would expect pro-military people to call it a success and anti-invasion people to call it a failure. - David Nov 17, 19:45 2
    - How about current players: Trump, Ryan, Gingrich, Obama, O'Connell, Fox News, rust belt voters, Biden... -- nm - Max Nov 17, 19:47 1
      - This is starting to feel like work. N/N/Y/Y/opinion changes regularly/Y/Y/Y. -- nm - David Nov 17, 19:49
