Poll: U.S. support for Iraq invasion up
NEW YORK, July 24 (UPI) -- "Support for the initial U.S. invasion of Iraq has risen 7 percent since May in a New York Times/CBS national poll published on Tuesday.
The telephone poll of 889 adults was conducted Friday through Sunday, and found 42 percent said they believe the invasion to depose Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do.
A similar poll in May found 35 percent agreed with it in hindsight, the Times said.
In May, 61 percent of respondents said the United States should have stayed out, while the most recent poll's figure was down to 51 percent.
The number of people who said they feel the war effort is going 'very badly' fell to 35 percent from 45 percent in a poll earlier this month.
U.S. President George Bush has made appeals to Congress and the public to reserve judgment and resist moves to begin withdrawing forces until September, when a military and political report is given."
