Blair is the first Casualty of Dubya's "War". Casualty of war: in 15 months the prime minister's rating has fallen 62 points New poll rubs salt into wounds inflicted by peace marchers Alan Travis, home affairs editor Tuesday February 18, 2003 The Guardian The clear majority opposition to a military attack on Iraq recorded by this month's Guardian/ICM poll represents a significant personal failure for Tony Blair in his attempt to persuade British public opinion. It was only four months ago, in November, that the argument was much more finely balanced with only one point separating the anti-war camp's 40% from the 39% who believed an attack was justified to topple Saddam Hussein. But since November opposition to the war has steadily mounted and risen by 12 points to its new peak of 52%. Over the same period support for the war has slumped to 29%. What was a one-point gap has become 23-point chasm between the two sides of the debate. guardian.co.uk
