Poll: Iraqis conflicted about war, its impact
Survey done mostly before recent cycle of violence

"Nearly half the Iraqis polled in a survey conducted primarily in March and early April said they believed the U.S.-led war had done more harm than good, but 61 percent of respondents said Saddam Hussein's ouster made it worth any hardships."

<snip>

"Nearly half -- 47 percent -- said they believed attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq could not be justified, while 52 percent said those attacks could be justified some or all of the time."

<snip>

"Asked about when they wanted U.S. and British forces to leave, 57 percent chose immediately, as in the next few months, the poll said; 36 percent said troops should stay longer."

<snip>

"Forty-four percent gave Bush a very unfavorable rating and 11 percent somewhat unfavorable; 24 percent said they held a favorable opinion of the U.S. president. But Bush proved more popular than Saddam in the survey, with eight of 10 respondents viewing the ousted Iraqi leader unfavorably at the time the poll was done."

The revolution may not be televised but it will be CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll-ed.

10. Bush more popular than Saddam? Wow? +/ - margin of error

According to these figures, 24% of Iraqis have a favorable opinion of Bush and 20% still like Saddam. Now wouldn't that, given the survey situation and the cultural bias of the source, be well within the margin of error?
