Poll: Many separate Iraq and terrorism
Associated Press

Most people in this country view the war in Iraq as a separate conflict from the war on terror, polling indicates.

President Bush has increased his speeches describing Iraq as the central battlefield in the war on terror and has noted that terrorist leaders have said fighting the U.S. in Iraq is critical to their strategy.

But a CNN poll out Wednesday asked the public if the war in Iraq is part of the war on terrorism. Fifty-three percent said "no;" 45 percent said "yes."

In other poll results about the war on terror:

_By 45 percent to 32 percent, people are more likely to think the best way to lessen the terror threat is to reduce, not increase, the U.S. military presence overseas, according to a poll released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press
