Via ‘Baghdad Dweller‘:
This poll was published in Al-Sabah newspaper showing that “terrorists” have failed to to dissuade Iraqis from votin, many be willing to take on the risks necessary to wrench back control of their nation. Even in a dangerous, quasi democratic election.
The poll was of 4974 Iraqis living in and around Baghdad.
The following is the translation of the poll and the results:
Will the security problems cause you to?
Not come out and vote the day of elections = 18.3%
Come out and vote the day of elections = 78.3%
No opinion = 3.4%Do you support the Iraqi Government having its own official newspaper?
Yes = 67.7%
No = 30.9%
Do Not know = 1.4%?Do you support military action against the terrorists?
Yes = 87.7 %
No = 11.1%
Don’t Know = 1.2%
Tsk, tsk. Right in the heart of the Sunni Triangle, with its festering Sadr City Shia tumor. If people there are positive, what hope is their for despair? Oh, woe is woe! Where is the just reward for all the fun-loving bombers and bitchers? Coming soon, we hope . . . .

I would treat Al Sabah with caution. It’s the same newspaper that reported that the Iraqi government had found three nuclear warheads, the same newspaper that reported that Zarqawi was captured, etc. It was originally set up by the CPA but I think that as of June, it simply became the official organ of the interim Iraqi government.
