New Poll Shows Majority of Americans Believe US did Not Have Reason to Go to War

[A] majority of Americans (55%) believe that the Bush administration went to war on the basis of incorrect assumptions. An overwhelming 87% said that, before the war, the administration portrayed Iraq as an imminent threat, while a majority (58%) believes that the administration did not have evidence for this... with 61% saying that the US should have taken more time to find out if Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and 59% saying it should have taken more time to build international support.

A majority of Americans believe that the evidence that the US had on Iraq did not meet the proper international standards for going to war without UN approval.

Full report can be read here; thanks again to Bob Harris. This poll goes a long way toward countering the administration's insistence that they did not make a case for "imminent threat".
