We've said before that, with few exceptions, those who want to postpone the elections in Iraq are those who would prefer that they never take place at all. Haider Ajina adds further support for that view with this translation of poll results that appeared in the Iraqi Arabic newspaper Alsabaah this morning. The poll was of 4,974 Iraqis living in and around Baghdad:

Will the security problems cause you to? Not come out and vote the day of elections = 18.3% Come out and vote the day of elections = 78.3% No opinion = 3.4%

Do you support military action against the terrorists?

Yes = 87.7 % No = 11.1% Don?t Know = 1.2%

I sure they really do come out and vote man, right now it is the only way to express the illigitimacy of the insurgents uprising among the people...

I still think, that 18% of the scared ones and 11% of people who don't support military actions are a bit high, presuming the poll wasn't conducted in the most dangerous parts of Iraq... Although, I do hope and believe most of the Iraqis will turn out on election day.
