Spike, I might give you that .... if the poll was generated by an impartial entity. But let's face one fact, where the poll was taken matters a helluva lot too. Taken near the gulf coast, I think you'll find the US more welcome than around Tikrit and Faluja.
The simple fact is that there are populations in Iraq that will cease to exist then the US pull out. They're the same ones that took up arms in Iraq during the first Gulf war, and were expecting the US to do what they did this time, and were caught with their pants down when the US pulled back leaving Saddam in power. There are populations in Iraq that lost power, money and status when the US arrived, Hell yeah, they want the US gone so they can get back to business. There are people who wanted the US right up until they were able to assert their own new found power. Now they want the US gone so that they can abuse it. There are at least as many marketing experts, politicians, lawers, and mobsters there as there are here, and they're just as influential at twisting people's perspective. And there are the common sheep just like we have here.
The simple fact is that I can take the same topic (and have done) and phrase a question two different ways and ask the same people those questions, and they'll produce the same knee-jerk replies I want them too, even to the point of contradicting themselves only minutes apart.
Without someone showing me the exact question posed, the exact population it's posed to, and giving me a full understanding of what that phrasing means in the local dialect the entire topic is smoke and mirrors.
For example: If I was to pose the following question in downtown Glasgow and downtown Toronto ....
#1. If you were on the subway at midnight, and you noticed a young man with his lips wrapped around a fag, what would you do?
Even knowing the exact phrasing is useless to predict the result without knowing how the local dialect is gonna interpret it.
Hence the phrase "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics"
