Only 18% Iraqis Trust US forces


news.bbc.co.uk

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.

It is no news, that the situation in Iraq is in complete chaos. But it looks like that more and more people living in Iraq are getting pessimistic. But the poll also produced conflicting views on the role of the US and its allies - since the opinions of the Shia and Sunni could not be more opposing.


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.

From the PDF document "The margin of error is + or – 2.5%"

Imagine that an accuracy rate of only + _ 2,5 percent Hmmm even the best of polls from well established polling companies normally only claim accuracy rate around 10%

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.

Understood.


Still they are probably one of the few creating this polls for the world to see.

Or do you think they have a political driven agenda behind this?
