A poll reveals that the majority of Americans oppose the ongoing occupation of Iraq, despite reports suggesting the US is making progress.
Recent government figures show 387 civilians were killed in Iraq in July - 61 less than the number of those killed in June 2008.
The White House argues that the numbers show 'a dramatic improvement in security' and US President George W. Bush says progress on the ground is showing a 'degree of durability'.
