Actually, you are wrong.... POLL ANALYSES September 6, 2002 Public Wants Congressional and U.N. Approval Before Iraq Action Majority support for removing Saddam Hussein remains, but many feel President Bush needs to do better job of explaining rationale for such action by Frank Newport GALLUP NEWS SERVICE Send to a Friend Printable Version Message to the Author The possibility of a United States-led military invasion of Iraq has now become the major focus of news coverage, in many ways overshadowing the one-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The current discussion of possible war against the regime of Saddam Hussein is reminiscent of what went on in the fall of 1990, when the current U.S. president's father was also attempting to build support for such action. A new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, along with a review of other recent polls and polling conducted 12 years ago, provide the public opinion context for the continuing debate on this important topic. Major Findings A number of polls conducted in recent weeks have confirmed the basic finding that a majority of Americans -- between 51% and 64% -- support the concept of U.S. military action in Iraq in order to remove Saddam Hussein from power. A historic review shows that this level of support for military action is actually higher than the support seen in the fall of 1990 for military action in what became the Persian Gulf War against Iraq. gallup.com
