Resistance falls to war without U.N. backing, poll shows 1 hour, 44 minutes ago LONDON - Resistance is falling to war against Iraq (news - web sites) without U.N. backing, but half the British population still opposes military action unless supported by the Security Council, according to a poll published Tuesday. Special Coverage The Populus study published in The Times showed that 52 percent of people would only back British involvement in a war if there was a new U.N. resolution. A month ago, the figure was 62 percent. The Times said the drop was due to a rise — from 11 to 19 percent — in the proportion of people who would back military action regardless of U.N. support. The study showed that support for Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites)'s Labor Party and the main opposition Conservative Party was level at 34 percent each. Blair is trying to win U.N. backing for a new resolution that gives Iraq a March 17 disarmament deadline, but France and Russia say they will vote against the proposal. The prime minister faces strong opposition within his own party to war unless backed by the U.N. A Cabinet minister on Sunday lambasted Blair's handling of the crisis, and last month 122 Labor lawmakers staged a revolt in the House of Commons, voting for a motion that said the case for war was as yet "unproven." Populus interviewed a random sample of 1,000 adults by phone between March 7-9. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. story.news.yahoo.com
