- 82% of Iraqis are "strongly opposed" to the presence of coalition troops
- 45% of Iraqis believe attacks against British and American troops are justified
- 67% of Iraqis feel less secure because of the occupation
- 45% of Iraqis believe conditions for peace and stability have worsened
- 72% of Iraqis do not have confidence in the multi-national forces
These numbers come from a secret poll conducted by the British military. There's no mention of methodology, but I would imagine that it would be hard to conduct an accurate representative poll in a war-torn country. Nevertheless, this is a marked difference from a similar poll in March 2004 in which an overwhelming majority of Iraqis said life was good and supported the war.
