WASHINGTON (November 16) -- Most Americans say Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has been the winner in the series of confrontations between Iraq and the United States in the past year, according to a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll.

Only 37 percent believe that President Bill Clinton was the winner in the U.S.-Iraq confrontations of the past year, and two-thirds of the American public says that missile attacks against Iraq have not achieved significant goals for the United States.

The poll included interviews with 1,039 adult Americans November 13-15 and has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points.

Here are the questions and results:

The poll was conducted over three days: Friday, when it was unclear whether the U.S. would attack Iraq; Saturday, when Iraq backed down but the Clinton Administration had not yet accepted the Iraqi offer; and Sunday, when the situation appeared to be resolved. However, people interviewed on each of the days gave statistically similar answers to the questions, indicating the weekend's events did not significantly affect opinion on them.
