New Baghdad poll
The Gallup Organization (world's best poll takers) just completed a survey of Baghdad. Pretty mixed results overall. Should be noted these numbers would be even more pro-coalition outside of Baghdad (probably 100% in Kurdish areas ;-) (
"-- Nearly two-thirds (62%) of Baghdad's citizens think ousting Saddam Hussein was worth any hardships they have personally endured since the invasion.
-- Nearly half (47%) thinks the country as a whole is currently worse off than it was before the invasion - only a third (33%) thinks it is already in better shape.
-- Two-thirds (67%) believe Iraq will be in better condition five years from now than it was before the U.S. and British-led invasion; just 8% think it will be worse off.
-- Most (61%) take a favorable view of the new Iraqi Governing Council, but see its policies and decisions "still mostly determined by the coalition's own authorities" (75%).
-- Fully half (50%) think that the Coalition Provisional Authority is doing a better job now than was the case two months ago, while just 14% think it is doing a worse job. "
