New Iraqi poll
In yesterday's Financial Times. The poll is not out until next week, but from the article findings so far are:* more than 50% of Iraqis want coalition troops to leave Iraq
* 88% see coalition forces as occupiers
* Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani was seen as the country's most influential figure, followed by Moqtada al-Sadr
* 32% strongly support Mr Sadr, and 36% somewhat support him.
However it is not all bad news. Actually it is at the moment, but as I said the poll is not out yet, and I imagine there saving some of the more optimistic findings.
