62% of voters believing that the US is "generally speaking a force for good, not evil, in the world".

Echoing what HR said... One can believe that the US (as a whole, throughout history) is non-malevolent, while not liking Bush or the war in Iraq. I think this poll is just being used as spin. It asks a vague, broad question about the US, and you can make it say anything you want.

This swing in the mood of British voters is echoed in the poll's finding that two-thirds of voters believe British and American troops should not pull out of Iraq now but instead stay until the situation is "more stable".

Also fishy. People who want the troops to stay are being rational, not pro-Bush.

The detailed results of the poll show that more people - 43% - say they welcome George Bush's arrival in Britain than the 36% who say they would prefer he did not come.

This doesn't really say anything about anything. Nothing is accomplished by him *not* coming... I don't know, I could be against a politician, and still welcome him into my country. At the same time, a Brit could be pro-Bush, but may not like having to put up with all those street closures.

Opposition to the war has slumped by 12 points since September to only 41% of all voters. At the same time those who believe the war was justified has jumped 9 points to 47% of voters.

Whew, finally, poll numbers that say something!
