ok, maybe this is better data:

Washington-AP -- Not a lot of positive news from a poll of Iraqis.

It finds that radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's (mook-TAH'-duh ehl SAH'-durz) popularity is surging, that 92 percent of Iraqis consider the U-S an occupying force, and more than half believe all Americans behave like those in the Abu Ghraib (grayb) prison abuse photos.

More than half of Iraqis also believe they would be safer if U-S troops simply left.

The poll was commissioned last month by the U-S-backed governing authority in Baghdad. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the survey.

One career foreign service officer working with U-S Administrator Paul Bremmer calls the poll "pretty grim."

And several other officials say the results reinforce the sense that a transfer of Iraqi sovereignty couldn't come soon enough.
