That's not correct - two or three months before the war the support for it was under 50% in the US. Only as it became apparent that it was going to happen did the support swing in favour of it (somewhat marginally - 65-70% from memory), and I personally put that down largely to supporting the troops and jingoism.
Just remember, we liberals have the victim mentality so you have to find another reason rather than blaming Kerry.
