New UK poll confirms majority now favor war Reuters Monday, March 24, 2003 LONDON - The majority of Britons now approve of the U.S.-led war on Iraq, following a large swing as the conflict began last week, a new poll showed Monday. In the ICM poll, due to be published in the Guardian newspaper Tuesday, 54 percent of Britons said they supported a military campaign to remove Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, compared with 38 percent in a previous March 16 poll. The number in favor was even lower last month with just 29 percent backing war in mid-February. It was the latest survey to confirm a swing in favor of Prime Minister Tony Blair, who had faced widespread opposition for supporting President Bush's buildup of pressure on Saddam. Monday's survey confirmed, however, there was still a significant anti-war bloc in Britain, with 30 percent against. But that was down from 44 percent in mid-March. ICM's poll of 1,008 adults between March 22 and March 23 showed support for war was higher among British men, at 61 percent, than women, at 47 percent. Most supporters of Blair's center-left ruling Labour Party, 58 percent, back war, while support is even higher, at 66 percent, among the right-wing opposition Conservative Party.
