Support for the war in Iraq also dipped in that period, from a majority saying the situation in Iraq was worth going to war over, 53 percent, to 46 percent during the last few days of January saying it was worth going to war and 49 percent saying it was not.

FWIW, I believe that the still relatively high percentage of Americans agreeing that the war was "worth it" is due to a psychological phenomenon called "cognitive dissonance." To change their minds now after having fallen victim to some pretty transparent illusions and trickery would be tantamount to admitting to being gullible idiots.

Consequently, most who supported the war will not openly admit they were fooled by simple, yet effective, illusion. However, when it comes to walking behind a voting curtain, these same people will say to themselves, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..."

best...
