Updated: 4:43 p.m. ET June 16, 2004June 15 - The first survey of Iraqis sponsored by the U.S. Coalition Provisional Authority after the Abu Ghraib prison scandal shows that most say they would feel safer if Coalition forces left immediately, without even waiting for elections scheduled for next year. An overwhelming majority, about 80 percent, also say they have “no confidence” in either the U.S. civilian authorities or Coalition forces.

Tide of US opinion turns
Roy Eccleston, Washington correspondent
December 23, 2004
AMERICANS are increasingly turning against the Iraq war, and the loss of so many troops in the latest attack a few days before Christmas will heighten concerns that George W.Bush has driven the country into a quagmire, with no exit strategy.

While the US President appears to interpret his November election victory as a vindication of his policies, an ABC/Washington Post poll released this week makes clear there is grave concern about his performance on Iraq.

That poll found 56 per cent, a new high, say the war is not worth fighting -- and 57 per cent disapprove of Bush's handling of the conflict.

Poll shows most Americans now think war was a mistake
By Alec Russell in Washington
(Filed: 22/12/2004)

President George W Bush's post-election honeymoon came to an abrupt end yesterday as it emerged that, for the first time since last year's invasion, a clear majority of Americans believe the war in Iraq is a mistake.

Before the news broke of the devastating attack on a US military base in Mosul, a Washington Post/ABC News opinion poll found that 56 per cent of Americans thought that, given the cost in American lives, the war was "not worth fighting."

A slender majority think the invasion of Iraq has contributed to the future security of America, but 70 per cent believe that the 1,300 dead US soldiers are an "unacceptable price".

The growing disillusionment is not leading to pressure to pull out the 150,000 US troops in Iraq. Nearly 60 percent of Americans support keeping them there until "civil order is restored."

But the findings puncture the mood of invulnerability and triumphalism in Republican circles since Mr Bush's election victory last month.

Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary, also received a sober reminder of how his stock has slumped. The Washington Post poll found that barely a third of Americans approved of his job performance. Even among Republicans, only six out of ten polled want him to stay in his post.
