Popularity The popularity of al-Sadr's movement is under debate. Some in the American press referred to him and his followers as little more than thugs, and the Coalition Provisional Authority continually refer to him as having little support. But a US-sponsored poll reported in June 2004 that 67 percent respondents support him (with 32 percent offering "strongly support", and 36 percent saying they "somewhat support" him). In the poll, he is the third most popular political figure, behind Ali Sistani but far ahead of interim PM Iyad Allawi who is opposed by 61 percent and supported by only 23 percent of respondents. (This poll was taken before Allawi became prime minister.) Despite al-Sadr's popularity, only two percent of respondents selected him as their first choice for President of Iraq. (Allawi, who soon after became Prime Minister, received far less support in this category as well.)[21] [22][23] en.wikipedia.org
