New Poll shows support for Blair is falling

The BBC reported a new poll by Yougov polling agency, as showing that 68% of British peple thought Blair's handling of the Iraq war had been good, against 28% who thought it was poor. ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2917763.stm)
Read the full results of the poll, and a different picture emerges. Support for military action has dropped 4% during the last week, from a high point of 59%, Blair's handling of the Iraq crisis as a whole is supported by 55% to 44% who think it has been poor. Asked how satisfied they are with Blair as Prime Minister, and the mnajority are dis-satisfied, and more people now distrust Blair than they Trust him.

Its interesting to read which figures the BBC picks out for its article, and they way they are presented. The anti-war protests are having an effect in spite of the the media blackout on anti-war stories
