Take a look at the IRI polling on Iraqi public opinion in this Economist bulletin (the lower right quadrant of this figure). I was struck by the strong uptick in optimism. A search for other comment on the latest IRI poll quickly turned up Judith Klinghoffer’s post, and Arthur Chrenkoff’s excellent time-series summary of the polling results - excerpt:
How do you think your life will be one year from now?
82 per cent say better (up from 65 per cent)
2 per cent say worse (down from 15 per cent)
2 per cent say the same (down from 12 per cent)
