ABC is reporting that there has been a huge drop in support for the Iraq war. Only 39% support a unilateral attack on Iraq without any coalition of allies.

Support for War Against Iraq Drops
Public Divided on Whether or Not Attack Would Create Terror Risk

Analysis
by Daniel Merkle

Sept. 3 — Public support for military action against Iraq has dropped to its lowest level since the war on terrorism began, with the public closely divided on whether or not such an attack would create a greater risk of terrorism.



Fifty-six percent of Americans in this ABCNEWS Nightline poll favor military action to force Saddam Hussein from power, still a majority but down sharply from 69 percent in the last few weeks. Support drops further to a 39 percent minority if U.S. allies oppose it. Earlier last month it was a 54 percent majority.
