60% Of Americans Oppose The Iraq War

In a new Opinion Research / CNN poll released today, 60% of all Americans oppose the Iraq War. This is the highest number opposing the war since it began in 2003. When the war began, 72% of all Americans supported it. 36% are now in favor of the war. This means Georgie has lost half of his support since beginning the war.

61% of the people polled said there should be at least some troop pullouts by the year's end [26% favor the withdrawal of all troops and 35% favor the withdrawal of some troops]. 34% of the people do not favor withdrawing any troops. When asked about setting a time table, 57% of respondents wished to set a time table, while 40% did not want a time table set.

When asked whether the U.S. would win the war or not, the pollees were almost evenly split. About 47% said the U.S. could or will win the war. 48% said the U.S. can't or won't win the war.

Can the war last much longer with over half the population against it?


NOTE - 2,592 United States soldiers have now died in the Iraq War. How many more will there be?
