Public Doesn't Think The Wars Are Winnable

The two unnecessary wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have drug on for years now, and it still doesn't look like there's an end in sight. And a new poll done by YouGov for The Economist is now showing that the American public doesn't think either of the wars are winnable. The poll was done between September 3rd and 6th of 1000 random Americans (and has a margin of error of 3.7 points). Here are some of the results of that poll:
