Opinion Polls Too Oppose Iraq War

My earlier post talks about the serious reservations expressed by the Pentagon and members of the Congress about the Iraq war. Even the recent public opinion polls are showing that a majority of people oppose this war, says The Christian Science Monitor.

“A series of polls taken over the last few weeks of August show that support for the war in Iraq among Americans is at an all-time low.

“Almost two-thirds of Americans in each of three major polls say that they oppose the war, the highest totals since pollsters starting asking Americans the question three years ago. Many of the polls were conducted in advance of the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on Washington and New York.

“A new Associated Press/Ipsos poll that surveyed the country, and more specifically residents of Washington and New York, shows that many feel the cost in blood and money in Iraq may already be too high and that Osama bin Laden will never be found.

“The poll also showed that 60 percent of Americans believe that the war in Iraq has increased the chances of a terrorist attack in the US.”
