Awesome find UT, thanks. I was just thinking last night how it would be great if someone could conduct a scientific poll of such issues in Iraq, although it would be very difficult. I had no idea one was actually underway.

I'd mentioned before how my experiences with the Iraqi population were at great contrast to what seems to be portrayed in the media -- a country full of Islamic fundamentalists and Saddam loyalists who want us to leave as soon as possible. The media love to play up our problems in the Sunni Triangle, and seem to ignore the leanings of the rest of the country.

I also find it very interesting that this poll came out four days ago, yet I can't remember it being mentioned by any of the major U.S. media outlets.
