1 ABC NEWS/WASHINGTON POST POLL: WAR AND PEACE 4/16/03 EMBARGO: 6:30 P.M. BROADCAST, 8 P.M. PRINT/WEB, Thursday, April 17, 2003 Concern About Peacekeeping Grows, But More Also See a Benefit of the War A growing number of Americans express concern the United States will get bogged down in a drawn-out and costly peacekeeping mission in Iraq. But more also see a long-term benefit to the war reducing the risk of terrorism at home. Nearly three-quarters, 73 percent, are now concerned about a difficult peacekeeping task ahead, up 11 points since the fall of Baghdad likely reflecting the civil unrest that s followed. Nearly a third are now very concerned, up from a quarter. Still, the public by 2-1 approves of the level of U.S. efforts to restore order thus far. The war retains its broad support 78 percent, with six in 10 strongly supporting it. And there s been a 10-point increase in the number of Americans who think that in the long term the war will reduce the risk of further terrorism in the United States rising from 48 percent before the fighting began to 58 percent now. Concerned About U.S. Getting Bogged Down In a Long and Difficult Peackeeping Role ABC News/Washington Post polls 73% 90% 80% 70% 62% 60% 50% 40% 9-Apr 16-Apr 30% 4/16 4/9 Change

2 Concerned the U.S. may get bogged down in a long and difficult peacekeeping role 73% /16 3/17 Change Think the war will reduce the risk of further terrorism in the U.S. 58% Indeed three-quarters of Americans see the war with Iraq as part of the broader war against terrorism, and that s a critical factor in support for the conflict. Among people who say the war with Iraq is part of the war on terrorism, 90 percent support it. Among those who say it s separate from the war on terrorism, support dives to 42 percent. ELSEWHERE The appetite is not great for regime change elsewhere. Nearly nine in 10 Americans favor non-military approaches diplomatic or economic pressure to problems with Syria or North Korea. Just over four in 10 say they d support military action short of war; about a third say they d support war to remove these governments from power. Many more see North Korea as a serious threat than Syria, as befits Pyongyang s suspected nuclear weapons program. Nearly eight in 10 call North Korea a threat to the United States, and 55 percent call it a serious threat. By contrast 65 percent call Syria a threat, and 36 percent call it a serious one. The United States, China and North Korea plan talks in Beijing as early as next week. 90% 80% 70% 79% Threat Perception: North Korea, Syria ABC News/Washington Post poll Threat "Serious" threat 65% 60% 55% 50% 40% 36% 30% 20% 10% 0% North Korea Syria Syria North Korea Threat to the U.S. 65% 79

3 Serious threat AID - In terms of U.S. priorities in Iraq, the public gives primacy to providing humanitarian aid 62 percent call this absolutely essential for the United States to accomplish. Next on the list, 51 percent call it essential to restore civil order; 47 percent, to help establish a new government, and to locate chemical or biological weapons. Lower priorities in the public s view are capturing or killing Saddam Hussein (41 percent call it essential) and rebuilding Iraq s infrastructure (34 percent). Essential for the U.S. to do Provide humanitarian aid 62% Restore civil order 51 Help establish new gov t 47 Find bio. or chem. weapons 47 Capture/kill Saddam 41 Rebuild infrastructure 34 U.N. In contrast to the Bush Administration s apparent desire to control the rebuilding of Iraq, substantial numbers of Americans would put the United Nations in charge. When it comes to helping establish a new government, the public by percent prefers U.N. control. And in awarding contracts to companies for rebuilding Iraq s infrastructure, 51 percent would put the United Nations in command, 41 percent the United States. On a third task, maintaining civil order, 49 percent say the United Nations should be in control; 45 percent, the United States. There are sharp political divisions in these views. In each task, majorities of Republicans want the United States in charge, and majorities of Democrats would give control to the United Nations. It looks like a matter of trust: Preference for U.N. control peaks among those who disapprove, or only weakly approve, of Bush s job performance. BUSH and the WAR Bush, for his part, maintains a very high job approval rating, 74 percent; it had slipped to 59 percent in January. The chief source of Bush s strength has been his response to terrorism since Sept. 11, 2001, and, as noted, three-quarters of Americans see the war with Iraq as part of the broader war against terrorism. For a Republican president, Bush s approval rating is high among Democrats 61 percent but not strong. Twenty-six percent of Democrats approve strongly of his work in office, as do 46 percent of independents a number that soars to 86 percent of Republicans. Bush s job performance Reps. Inds. Dems. Approve 92% Approve strongly

4 Support for the war, similarly, while still partisan, is somewhat less so than at times in the past. Nearly all Republicans (95 percent) support the war, as do three-quarters of independents and two-thirds of Democrats. But strong support, again, is disproportionately higher among Republicans. Other factors influence support for the war. For example, support peaks among people who think the war will decrease the risk of terrorism in the United States. And it declines among those who worry about a long and difficult peacekeeping role ahead.
