How voters felt about the war in Iraq, according to exit polls conducted 
for The Associated Press and the networks. The poll of 13,485 voters was 
taken at selected precincts nationwide on Election Day and has a margin 
of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

IRAQ APPROVAL: More than half of voters, 55 percent, said they 
disapproved of the war in Iraq, and they were far more likely to vote 
for Democratic House candidates. A quarter of conservatives and almost 
as many Republicans disapprove.

U.S. SECURITY: Six in 10 said the war in Iraq has not made the United 
States more secure. Those voters were far more inclined to vote for 
Democratic candidates. More than eight in 10 Democrats and seven in 10 
independents felt that way.

BRING TROOPS HOME: More than half of voters, 55 percent, favored 
bringing some or all troops home from Iraq. A fourth said the U.S. 
should withdraw some troops and three in 10 said all troops should be 
withdrawn. More than eight in 10 Democrats said some or all troops 
should be withdrawn while six in 10 independents felt that way. A fourth 
of Republicans want to withdraw some or all of the troops from Iraq.

IRAQ's IMPORTANCE AS AN ISSUE: Two-thirds of voters said Iraq was very 
or extremely important to them. Those who said they were ''extremely'' 
concerned were more likely to vote Democratic.
