Iraqis are becoming increasingly pessimistic about the future of their country and unhappy about their lives, a survey suggests. Less than 40% of those polled said things were good in their lives, compared to 71% two years ago.
Only 18% said they had confidence in US and coalition troops, and 51% said they thought attacks on coalition forces were justified. However, only 35% said foreign troops should leave Iraq now. A further 63% said they should go only after security has improved.
The poll was commissioned by the BBC, ABC News, ARD German TV and USA Today. It was conducted by D3 Systems. People were questioned in more than 450 neighbourhoods and villages across all 18 provinces between 25 February and 5 March. The findings contrast sharply with those of a similar poll in 2005, a year when elections were taking place.

Leave it to the media sources to exagerate.

So are you saying, that the People of Iraq are currently satisfied with the way that their government and the Coalition forces are working for their protection, security, rebuilding of infrastructure and so on?

No not at all. I was simply pointing out their alleged accuracy rates in their poll.
