The survey found 72 percent of Bush supporters believe either that Iraq had
actual WMD (47 percent) or a major programme for making them (25 percent),
despite the widespread media coverage in early October of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA's) 'Duelfer Report', the final word on the subject
by the one-billion-dollar, 15-month investigation by the Iraq Survey Group.

It concluded Hussein had dismantled all of his WMD programmes shortly after
the 1991 Gulf War and had never tried to reconstitute them.

Nonetheless, 56 percent of Bush supporters said they thought most experts
currently believe Iraq had actual WMD, and 57 percent said they thought the
Duelfer Report had concluded that Iraq either had WMD (19 percent) or a
major WMD programme (38 percent).

Only 26 percent of Kerry supporters, by contrast, said they believed that
pre-war Iraq had either actual WMD or a WMD programme, and only 18 percent
said they believed "most experts" agreed with those two
possibilities.
