One in three Americans say the United States is winning the war on terrorism, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll. Half say the war is at a stalemate. |
Public confidence that the United States and its allies are winning has slipped to 33%, the lowest level since Sept. 11.
In January, amid news reports that the U.S. military had al-Qaeda terrorists on the run, 66% said the United States was winning the war.
Now the news is a steady stream of warnings that terrorists are planning to strike U.S. targets and reports that intelligence and law enforcement agencies missed critical clues leading to the attacks on Sept. 11. And 49% of poll respondents say neither side is winning the war on terrorism; 14% say the terrorists are winning.
Still, 51% say the United States should mount a long-term war to defeat global terrorist networks. That figure is down from a high of 62% last November. Eighty percent say the United States should keep military forces in Afghanistan.
Overall, % approve of the job President Bush is doing. The poll of 1,020 adults taken Friday through Sunday has an error margin of +/--3 percentage points.

It is a sad day when people think that reposts of USA Today have any place on this website. Anybody can find the nearest machine to spit out today's edition. Reposting it here is not part of the mission of IMC and is simply a waste of electrons. IMC is supposed to offer alternative views on the news from voices who don't have access to the media. The dominant media composes these polls to push certain ideas that they favor. Why should anyone help them splash this stuff all over IMC? |
