*Not quite accurate. Question 23. reads:

23. Thinking about any hardships you might have
suffered since the US/British invasion, do you
personally think that ousting Saddam Hussein was worth
it or not? 

And here the answers are as you cite, but there is no
reference to the US invasion in the question. However,
to question 3:

3. Taking everything into account, do you think the
coalition invasion of Iraq has done more harm than
good or more good than harm? 

Here 47 % of the Shiite and 56 % answer "more harm."
In total 46 % answer "more harm" 33 % "more good" and
16 % "the same."

O.K.
