How many troops are against the war?

Have there been any polls of the actual troops who are over in Iraq, as to what percentage of them support the war, and what percentage oppose it?

All of them, except the ones making alot of money or fame out of this mess.

I'm looking for some sort of actual statistics. I know for a fact that a number of troops over there must support the war, just like a number of people back home support it. McCain got about the same amount of military donations as Ron Paul did. The Neocons often argue that the troops on the ground over there are in favor of the war. I'm just trying to find something close to the actual truth.

There was a big poll done a while back that said something like 70% of enlisted men wanted out within the year (that was 2006). With officers and career soldiers it was more like 20%.

I'll have to look for it.

An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year, and more than one in four say the troops should leave immediately, a new Le Moyne College/Zogby International survey shows.
