Here's the methodology graf from ABC's report on the poll:

METHODOLOGY - This poll was conducted for ABC News, Time magazine,
the BBC, NHK and Der Spiegel by Oxford Research International.
Interviews were conducted Oct. 8-Nov. 22, 2005, in person, in Arabic
and Kurdish, among a random national sample of 1,711 Iraqis age 15
and up. The results have a 2.5-point error margin. Details of the
survey methodology are available upon request.
