Seventy Percent

But in a poll conducted March 14-15, Gallup found that

"If the United States decides not to offer any new resolutions on Iraq and goes forward with military action without a new U.N. vote at all, half of Americans would oppose an invasion of Iraq, while 47% would be in favor."

And in Gallup's "quick reaction" poll after last night's speech, only "53% believe war with Iraq will make the United States safer." Since USG has been selling this war at home on fear, that seems significant.
