A majority would prefer to see Hungary stay out of a war should one break out, and none of the respondents would be prepared to send combat units to Iraq, according to the poll. Since November, the portion of those who would support sending medical or technical units has also dropped from 48 percent to 31 percent. The poll of 1,200 adults was taken between 14 and 18 February.
