Associated Press Poll shows slide in backing for Iraq war Tuesday July 8, 2:06 am ET LONDON (AP) -- The number of people who believe military action in Iraq was justified has fallen sharply, according to a poll published Tuesday, but about half those questioned still thought it was the right thing to do. The Populus poll for The Times of London showed that 47 percent of respondents believed taking military action was right, compared to 64 percent who held the same view in April. It found that 45 percent of people thought going to war was wrong, up from 24 percent in April. The poll also showed Prime Minister Tony Blair's ruling Labor Party narrowly leading the opposition Conservative Party, with 36 percent of people saying they would vote Labor in a national election, and 34 percent supporting the Conservatives. The Populus consultancy interviewed 1,000 adults by telephone between July 4 and 6 for the poll, which had a margin of error of 3 percentage points. CC
