New Poll Reflects Growing U.S. Worry Over Iraq

The Bush administration insists that Iraq is on the road to establishing a democracy that would help bring about peace, but the president's credibility on Iraq has been slowly eroding among the U.S. public in recent months amid a continuing bloody insurgency. Asked whether the United States was meeting its objectives in Iraq, 56 percent in the poll said the United States was not while 39 percent said it was. The findings were based on a random sample of 1,004 adults over the age of 18 who were interviewed between June 1 and June 13, 2005, before a surge of violence in Iraq in recent weeks. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. http://ca.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2005-08-16T164451Z_01_KNE660296_RTRIDST_0_NEWS-BUSH-FOREIGN-POLL-C-COL.XML
