    Labour 35% (-2)
    Tories 34% (+2)
    LibDems 25% (unch)
    Others 6%

    Supplementary questions:

    Has case for war been made?
    Y34% N57%

    Trust Blair to take the right decision in Britain's interest?
    Y47% N46%


    Interesting dichotomy. Majority seem to think that Saddam is in breach:

    74% think he has WMD;
    77% think Iraq is hiding WMD;
    49% think there are links to alQaeda;
    71% think that Iraq isn't trying to disarm,

    However, the majority don't support the war presently.

    This is probably because they feel that war should only be used as last option, and that options other than war have yet to be exhausted. There is also distrust of Bush's motives, as well as Blair judging by the "trust" question.
