Poll Watch: Only 42 Per Cent Say United States Winning “War on Terror”

The lowest confidence since June 30, 2008.

Just 42% of likely voters now believe the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

That’s down from 50% two weeks ago, down from 62% in early February, and is the lowest level of confidence since June 30, 2008.

Twenty-eight percent (28%) now say the terrorists are winning. That’s the highest number offering that pessimistic assessment since October 2007.

Just over a third (34%) say the situation in Iraq will get better in the next six months, also the lowest level of confidence since last June. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say the situation will get worse.

Americans have to remember that just because President Obama has renamed the War on Terror and promised to withdraw combat troops from Iraq, America’s terrorist enemies persist nonetheless.
