Washington: Most Americans now believe that President George W Bush's administration "intentionally misled" the public in going to war in Iraq, according to a poll released on Monday.

The ABC News/Washington Post poll came on the eve of a key speech in which Bush will seek public support for the war, which 53 per cent of Americans who were surveyed said was not worth fighting.

A record 57 per cent say the Bush administration "intentionally exaggerated its evidence that pre-war Iraq possessed nuclear, chemical or biological weapons," according to the poll.

It was the first time a majority said the administration "intentionally misled" the public, the survey said.

The poll also shows 56 per cent disapprove of Bush's handling of Iraq, including 44 per cent who "strongly disapprove".

Still, 53 per cent remain optimistic rather than pessimistic about the prospects for Iraq in the next year, the poll said.

And nearly six in 10, or 58 per cent, want US troops to stay in Iraq until civil order has been restored, while 41 per cent asked for their withdrawal.

The Bush administration has rejected calls from US lawmakers, including from the president's Republican Party, to set a firm timetable on the withdrawal of US troops.
