Poll: 6 of 10 Approve of Bush's Iraq Plan

By The Associated Press

Nearly six of every 10 people support President Bush's plan to disarm Iraq, by force if needed, according to a poll released Monday. But 24 percent have serious reservations about a war, while still supporting the president.

About a third, or 34 percent, support his policy without reservations, according to the ABC News-Washington Post poll. Another 37 percent say they oppose the policy.

Among reasons cited most often by those who oppose the Bush policy or have reservations: the need for more international support or the support of the United Nations; the potential loss of life; concern that the United States is moving too fast; or concern that there is an insufficient threat to justify war.

The uneasy support for military action by a fourth of the population could help explain why public opinion fluctuates so easily, depending on the way the question is asked.

The ABC-Post poll of 1,022 adults was taken Feb. 26-March 2 and has an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
