Most Americans agree with Kerry on Iraq (developing story) A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll taken over the weekend showed Mr. Kerry nearly even with President Bush -- the president leads by 48% to 45%. A spate of surveys taken earlier in the month showed the incumbent with a commanding and widening lead. It isn't clear whether that difference reflects a trend in the campaign or simply differing methodologies. The Journal/NBC survey of 1,006 registered voters shows that the Iraq issue is on a knife's edge right now. Americans tend to think the U.S. should have taken military action to remove Saddam Hussein. If that's the focus of the debate, it's a plus for Mr. Bush. But increasing numbers think that expelling the Iraqi dictator wasn't worth the cost, and that there's no clear plan to pacify Iraq. Just 40% said that "removing Saddam Hussein from power ... was worth the number of U.S. military casualties and the financial cost," while 52% said it wasn't -- the biggest gap in the year since the question was first posed. On separate questions asked for the first time: 52% of the respondents said the incursion "has been a poor use of money;" 53% said they weren't confident the war "will come to a successful conclusion;" and by 47% to 41%, those polled said they did not think the war "will be a victory for the United States."
