http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060608/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_iraq_pollWASHINGTON - The death of al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq comes at a time when more Americans than ever think the war in Iraq was a mistake, according to AP-Ipsos polling.
The poll was taken Monday through Wednesday before the news broke that terrorist leader al-Zarqawi was killed by U.S. troops. That polling right before the death of al-Zarqawi found that 59 percent of adults say the United States made a mistake in going to war in Iraq — the highest level yet in AP-Ipsos polling to say that. Approval of President Bush's handling of Iraq dipped to 33 percent — the lowest level yet on that measure in the poll.
Bush's overall job approval remained at 33 percent — still at the lowest level of his presidency.
Among the poll's other findings:
_More than half, 54 percent, said it's unlikely that a stable, democratic government will be established in Iraq — the highest number in AP-Ipsos polling to express such doubts about Iraq's future.
