Fewer than half say Blair was right to invade Iraq

Public support for the war against Iraq has dropped significantly over the
past month, according to a newspaper poll published today.

Recent factors, including the on-going clash between the Government and the
BBC over two dossiers, and the recent spate of killings of British and
American forces in Iraq, are believed to have contributed to the steady
decrease in support.

The study revealed that the number of people who regarded military action
taken against Iraq as "right" had dropped from 64 per cent in April and 58
per cent in June to 47 per cent this month. The greatest change in opinion
was among women and voters over 65, according to the poll, conducted by
Populus for The Times.
