Iraq factor reduces Blair's popularity: Poll


LONDON(AFP): Opposition to war against Iraq has cut
British Prime Minister Tony Blair's opinion poll lead
to just 5 per cent, a British daily said on Tuesday.


Rifts among Blair's senior ministers over whether to
use military action to topple Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein have dropped the government's popularity with
voters below 40 per cent for the first time in two
years, The Guardian said.


Opposition to military action against Iraq is up six
points in the last week to 46 per cent, the ICM poll
said, showing the impact of Saddam's offer to admit
weapons inspectors and debates over a new UN
resolution, the daily said.


But the poll also showed that 65 per cent of voters
would be prepared to back a war against Iraq if the
government dossier to be published on Tuesday shows
evidence that Saddam has acquired new weapons of mass
destruction.


Only 13 per cent of those polled said that they
believed Baghdad's "unconditional" offer to allow UN
weapons inspectors back into Iraq.


ICM conducted 1,000 telephone interviews with adults
aged 18 or over between September 20 and 22.
