Half of America apparently still thinks so, a new poll finds, and experts see a raft of reasons why: a drumbeat of voices from talk radio to die-hard bloggers to the Oval Office, a surprise headline here or there, a rallying around a partisan flag, and a growing need for people, in their own minds, to justify the war in Iraq.

Last month, the House approved a clean minimum wage bill. The Republican leadership tried to keep it bottled up, but Republicans facing reelection in tight races persuaded their leaders to allow a vote, and dozens voted with the Democrats to increase the minimum wage.
