Anti-Wars Sentiment Climbing

[CodeManBob]

from Just Foreign Policy June 10:

1) Support for withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan has risen
significantly over the past month, CNN reports. Nearly three-quarters
of those questioned say that the U.S. should withdraw some or all of
its troops from Afghanistan, a ten-point jump since May. Support for
the war is now at 36 percent, its lowest point this year.

2) Americans are increasingly ready to see U.S. troops brought home,
CBS reports. Sixty-four percent of Americans think the number of
troops in Afghanistan should be decreased. That's an increase of 16
points from last month and a record high for that question in CBS News
polls. Half of Americans - 51 percent - think the U.S. should not be
involved in the war in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, as NATO forces escalate air strikes in Libya, six in 10
Americans do not think the US should be involved in that conflict.
Just 30 percent of Americans think the US is doing the right thing by
taking part in the current military conflict in Libya now. A majority
of Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike think the U.S.
should not be involved in Libya.
