If elections were held today, polls and interviews on the street suggest, the virulently anti-American al-Sadr would command a big percentage of the vote. In a recent poll of 1,640 Iraqis across the country, by the Iraq Center for Research and Strategic Studies, the numbers for those who either somewhat or strongly supported al-Sadr were higher than those of the new prime minister and a long list of other high-ranking Iraqi government officials. More striking was that support for al-Sadr was just 2.8 percentage points behind the 70 percent polled by the established Shiite Muslim leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al Husseini al Sistani. http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/8871812.htm 040609 ... iJun112004 10 June, 2004, 22:56 GMT 23:56 UK Blair losing voters' trust - poll The ICM poll suggests 47% of those asked thought the premier is respected abroad - down from 63% in 2003.
