DescriptionAdvances in public attitudes are sweeping Iraq, ABC News reports.

The network, citing the latest ABC News/BBC/NHK Poll, says optimism is lifting because of declining violence, rising economic well-being and improved services.

The poll finds that 84% of Iraqis now rate security in their own area positively, nearly double its August 2007 level; 78% say their protection from crime is good, more than double its low. Three-quarters say they can go where they want safely – triple what it has been.

Few credit the USA, still widely unpopular given the post-invasion violence, and eight in 10 favor its withdrawal on schedule by 2011 or sooner. But at the same time, a new high -- 64% of Iraqis -- now call democracy their preferred form of government.
