WHAT:

A briefing to release and explain the results of the latest (July 1) PIPA/Knowledge Network national poll from the University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA). Topics covered by the poll include:

1) In light of the continuing failure to find evidence of WMD or links to al-Qaeda, does the public feel that the administration was fully truthful in its presentation of the evidence leading up to the war? Does the public support a congressional investigation? 2) Has support for the original decision to go to war changed in light of recent events?3) Does the public believe links to al-Qaeda or WMD have been found? 4) Public support for Iraq reconstruction. Would the public like to see the UN play a bigger role? 5) How aware is the public of the level of US troop casualties? Are casualties affecting support for the continuing operation? Is support likely to drop if casualties persist? 6) How have developments in Iraq affected the public's views of President Bush, especially among independent voters?

WHO:

Steven Kull, PIPA director and professor of public policy at the University of Maryland, will present the results and analysis.
