The latest poll from Iraq (via Powerline) indicates that enthusiasm for the election is strong despite the violence and threats of it  and that Iraqis want strong measures taken against those who are trying to keep them from voting.

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%
