Americans' support for Afghan war drops sharply: poll
WASHINGTON | Mon Mar 26, 2012 10:42pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Support for the war in Afghanistan has dropped sharply among Americans in recent months as they grow increasingly disillusioned with the conflict that began more than a decade ago, according to a New York Times/CBS News public opinion poll released on Monday.
Two-thirds of those polled - 69 percent - said the United States should no longer be fighting in Afghanistan, up from 53 percent in November and the highest percentage since the New York Times/CBS News poll started asking that question in 2009, CBS reported.
Sixty-eight percent said the fighting was going "somewhat badly" or "very badly," compared with 42 percent who voiced those views in November 2011, the New York Times reported.
