Third poll I've seen today from Iraq. Last one claimed majority of Iraqi's supported attacks on U.S. troops, first claimed majority of Iraqi's support our forces and their being in Iraq.

This is getting confusing.

Overall 94 percent have an unfavorable view of al Qaeda, with 82 percent expressing a very unfavorable view. Of all organizations and individuals assessed in this poll, it received the most negative ratings. The Shias and Kurds show similarly intense levels of opposition, with 95 percent and 93 percent respectively saying they have very unfavorable views. The Sunnis are also quite negative, but with less intensity. Seventy-seven percent express an unfavorable view, but only 38 percent are very unfavorable. Twenty-three percent express a favorable view (5% very).
Views of Osama bin Laden are only slightly less negative. Overall 93 percent have an unfavorable view, with 77 percent very unfavorable. Very unfavorable views are expressed by 87 percent of Kurds and 94 percent of Shias. Here again, the Sunnis are negative, but less unequivocally—71 percent have an unfavorable view (23% very), and 29 percent a favorable view (3% very).

Actually, I do believe this. I also believe that the Iraqis would be absolutely ruthless in putting down opposition. Of course, that's assuming that they could hold the country together for longer than a week.

Someimes they poll 400 Kurds at random, sometimes they poll 400 members of Sadr's Mahdi Army at random, sometimes they check the graffiti in Fallujah and Ramadi.

Looks like Saddam's defense team was in the pool as well.

In Baghdad, for example, nearly three-quarters of residents polled said they would feel safer if U.S. and other foreign forces left Iraq, with 65 percent of those asked favoring an immediate pullout,

So, 75% favor some kind of pullout and 65% of those favor an immediate pullout.

.65 x .75 = .4875.

Less than half favor an immediate pullout.
