Britons' trust in Blair grows -- poll
LONDON, March 26 (Reuters) - Britons' trust in Prime Minister Tony Blair has grown since widespread popular protests against war on Iraq before the conflict started, an opinion poll showed on Wednesday
The YouGov poll for Channel 4 News said Britons' faith in Blair has risen over the last month and most now believe he is taking a moral stand against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
It showed trust in Blair had risen to 6.1 on a scale of one to 10 where zero means none at all and 10 complete trust. This compared with 4.4 in a February poll and 4.7 in November 2002.
Some 55 percent of Britons now believe Blair's support of the war to oust Saddam is a principled stand rather than self-interest, compared with 36 percent in a February poll.
