Poll finds residents oppose Iraq invasion

A new UNH poll shows that a majority of Granite Staters oppose the 2003 decision to invade Iraq.

The Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, reports that 57 percent of residents oppose the Unite States invading Iraq and 37 percent favor support the decision.

The poll also finds that 69 percent disapprove of President Bush's handling of the war and 28 percent favor Bush's handling.

Forty-nine percent think the U.S. should withdraw troops over the next two years, and 42 percent say the U.S. should stay in Iraq until the country is stabilized.
