Poll of Iraqis

How does the average Iraqi feel? Here are some interesting results.

51 percent of Iraqis now think that violence against U.S. forces is acceptable. That's up from only 17 percent in February of 2004.

42 percent of Iraqis say that Iraq is in civil war. The number among Sunnis is much higher, with 63 percent.

35 percent of Baghdad residents say they have moved their home to avoid violence or persecution, and 31 percent say there has been ethnic cleansing in their area.

Approval of the government, like everything else in Iraq, breaks down ethnic lines. 68 percent of Shiites and 71 percent of Kurds approve, while only 6 percent of Sunnies approve of the government.
