A couple of weeks ago, when the generals finally got Trump to listen to a full assessment of what is happening in Afghanistan, Trump was shocked. He told them -- We're not winning - We're losing! I don't know why that was a shock to him. We've been there nearly 16 years (the longest war in U.S. history) and still haven't accomplished any of our goals there -- and there's no reason to believe that will change any time soon.
The public wasn't surprised though. Most of them that have an opinion on the war know we are losing it. Only 23% believe we are winning it, while 38% say we are losing.
The chart is from a new Politico / Morning Consult Poll -- done between August 3rd and 6th of a random national sample of 1,992 registered voters, with a 2 point margin of error.
