I think the poll would be a bit more useful if it gave time frames.

For example:

"Over the next 1-3 years..."
"Over the next 4-10 years..."
"Over the next 11-15 years..."
"Over the next 16-20 years..."
"Over the next 20+ years..."

I would answer them this way:
Yes (definitely)
Yes (with rare lulls)
Yes (but increasing lulls)
No (but with frequent violent peaks)
No (with decreasingly frequent violent peaks)
No (except for spasmodic, uncoordinated acts)

I agree with the 2001 assessment that this is a long war that wil require a heavy military price but will also require an increasing attention to diplomatic and economic engagement. The next president will find that he must actively pursue terrorists everywhere or we will be fighting them in Topeka.

Also, the hang-up on Bush makes it a pretty circumscribed, less meaningful pool. Why not just ask "Who hates Bush: How and why?" Cut to the chase.
