Iraq: Good News From Election Poll

Topics: Middle East News and Perspectives

Time for a little good news out of Iraq that comes in the form of a translated report about an election poll from Al-sabah.

Via Iraq The Model with thanks to Ladybird for the translation.

The headlines of this poll were:
1-The poll was of 4974 Iraqis living in and around Baghdad.
2-Will the security problems cause you to - ?
Response:
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%

3-Do you support military action against the terrorists?
Response:
Yes = 87.7 % No = 11.1%
Don't Know = 1.2%

Iraq The Model asks if these were the results that appeared after taking samples from in and around Baghdad which is considered to be the most dangerous area in the country (and inhabited by lots of Sunni Iraqis by the way!), then what would the results look like if the samples were taken from Basra or Erbil?
